Christmas shop opening hours

Under Czech law, shops larger than 200 square meters, such as major supermarkets, may be open until midday on Christmas Eve, but must remain closed for the following two days. Exceptions apply to shops in areas such as airports and railway stations, as well as to pharmacies and petrol stations.

Some retailers, including Penny Market, choose to keep all of their stores closed on Christmas Eve, too. Online food suppliers, such as Rohlík.cz and Košík.cz, will deliver orders on Christmas Eve until 2pm, but their services will be unavailable on Christmas Day and will resume on December 26.
