B&M has revealed its Christmas and Boxing Day opening hours for 2025. The budget retail chain will be operating on reduced hours over the festive holiday season.

The British variety store is popular with customers for its regular deals on homeware, garden furniture and food and drink. B&M has more than 700 stores up and down the country.

All of its UK stores will shut down for Christmas Day this year – so if you want to do some last minute shopping make sure you get down to your local shop before then. But fear not, as a spokesperson for the budget retail chain told the Mirror than stores would open again as usual on Boxing Day, December 26.

Most stores will be open from 8am until 6pm on Boxing Day. They are also likely to close early on Christmas Eve – at 6pm rather than the usual 9pm.
