Christmas Eve 2022 opening hours for Primark, Home Bargains, B&M, Poundland, IKEA

It is officially Christmas this weekend, meaning you might be wanting pop to the shops over the next couple of days to get in some last-minute essentials.

While you might think that you have everything sorted for the big day, you usually find that you need to make a quick dash for gifts and stocking fillers on Christmas Eve.

If that is the case, then it is worth knowing that some retailers will still be open on Saturday, December 24 for any last-minute shoppers, but they will be open at reduced hours.
