The three days around it
Christmas Eve closing early is the part that catches people, because the store is open when they check in the morning and closed by the time they go.
If you need something on the day
The pharmacy is closed with the store, so any prescription you will need over Christmas is worth filling several days ahead. Convenience stores and some pharmacies stay open.
Hours vary by store and change around holidays, so your own store’s page on Walmart’s store locator is the only reliable answer. Calling the store works too.
