Giant, Wegmans, Safeway Christmas Day 2016 Store Hours

Christmas is here, which often means a flurry of baking for gifts, parties and meals for company. So a last-minute run to the grocery store for pie, more wine or anti-acids after days of food binges is likely since something always gets left off the shopping list.

The folks at Northern Virginia's Giant, Food Lion, Harris Teeter and Wegmans stores, among others, were open for business, some with limited hours, on Christmas Eve; few grocery stores will be open on Christmas Day.

Here’s a list of holiday hours for several stores, taken from their websites and emails to Patch.
