Supermarkets and Restaurants Adjust Christmas Hours

Australia's major supermarkets, including Coles, Woolworths, and Aldi, will be closed on Christmas Day but open for last-minute shopping on Christmas Eve and for restocking on Boxing Day. For those looking to dine out, various restaurants across Australia will be open on December 25, offering festive meals and experiences, with early bookings recommended due to high demand. In Wilmington, North Carolina, several restaurants will also remain open on Christmas Day, catering to diners who prefer to eat out rather than cook at home. Meanwhile, in Montreuil, France, independent shops and large retailers are extending their Sunday hours leading up to Christmas, allowing for more shopping opportunities during the holiday season. This trend reflects a growing flexibility in holiday trading hours, accommodating both local and tourist shoppers. As holiday festivities approach, options for dining and shopping are becoming more varied and accessible in different regions.
