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

Shops Open on Christmas Day in South Africa: 2025 Trading Hours, Malls, Supermarkets and What to Expect Today

South Africans who woke up today (Thursday, 25 December 2025) needing last-minute basics—ice, bread, baby supplies, medication, a forgotten gift, or a “we’re-out-of-everything” braai emergency—are finding the same reality across much of the country: Christmas Day shopping is possible, but it’s highly selective. The big theme this year, reflected in updates shared across major shopping destinations in the past 48 hours, is “optional” or “voluntary” trading. In plain terms: many malls open their doors, but individual stores decide whether they trade, and for how long. That means one centre can feel almost closed… while another has a working supermarket, a few essentials retailers,
