If you’re a true Miamian who has procrastinated preparing your charcuterie board, bouquet of flowers, store-bought cakes, mac & cheese, or wine for your Christmas Eve or Christmas Day dinner — or you’ve ruined your homemade flan and need to dash to the store — we can absolutely relate. (P.S. – If you don’t feel like cooking, try to call or book one of these great restaurants for dinner on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day!)
Although almost every single grocery store and supermarket in Miami will be closed on Christmas Day, including Whole Foods, Publix, and Trader Joe’s, there are four gems that will come to your rescue this Christmas.
Below, find every single grocery store and supermarket that will be closed or open on Wednesday, December 24, and Thursday, December 25.
