Shops Open on Christmas Day in Jamaica 2025: Updated Hours for Groceries, Convenience Stores and Essentials

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Thursday, December 25, 2025 — Christmas Day in Jamaica is traditionally about family, food, church and rest. It’s also the day when many of the island’s biggest retailers lock up early (or don’t open at all), leaving last-minute shoppers scrambling for basics like bread, ice, baby supplies, phone credit, pain relief, and that one missing ingredient for Christmas dinner. The good news: you still have options. While major supermarkets and big-box stores are largely closed, service-station convenience stores, select 24-hour locations, and a handful of businesses operating on holiday schedules are keeping their doors open — with reduced hours and

Guyana’s Internet Boom: From Slow Starts to a Surging 2025 Connectivity Revolution

Overview of Internet Infrastructure in Guyana Guyana’s internet infrastructure has evolved from rudimentary beginnings into a more robust, modern network.
