If you need to run into your local Target and pick up a few last minute items, whether it’s early in the morning or late at night. “Most of the retailer's nearly 2,000 stores are open for extended hours of 7 a.m. to midnight (check local store hours), through Dec. 23, for guests to shop the season's must-have finds and thousands of low-priced options,” Target says via their press release. “On Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, stores will be open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. All Target stores are closed on Christmas Day, Dec. 25.”
Same-Day Delivery Perks

Target’s same-day delivery is incredibly convenient year-round, but especially so when you’re too busy with holiday preparation to leave your home and brave traffic. “Same-day delivery orders placed by 3 p.m. on Christmas Eve can be delivered to guests' doorsteps — or sent to anyone on their shopping list,” Target says. “Members of Target Circle 360, the retailer's paid membership program, enjoy unlimited same-day delivery on orders over $35. For nonmembers, same-day delivery is available for $9.99 per order.”

Take all the stress out of shopping by using Target’s trust pick-up feature, where you don’t even have to leave your car. “Guests on the go can also get orders delivered to their car via Drive Up, with orders placed by 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve available for pickup the same day,” Target says. “They can also make a return and get Starbucks without leaving their car. Navigating to a Target store to pick up a Drive Up or Order Pickup purchase is now easier than ever with the Target app on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.”
