What’s open Christmas day? Drug stores, fast food, coffee shops and more

It’s tradition for most retailers and many restaurants to be closed on Christmas Day. There are a few exceptions, however, if you find yourself in need of some last-minute holiday items.

The poll, conducted by One Poll on behalf of Punchbowl, found 39% of respondents have stopped to purchase a gift on Christmas day on their way to see families.

And, according to a recent survey, some people do wait until Christmas day to pick up at least one gift.
