It’s the time of year to spread some cheer because Christmas Day is near! Every year, people gather with friends and family to celebrate the holidays with laughter, good food, and maybe a few gifts. While it’s always a good idea to get ahead of schedule for the holidays, we understand how it is to get baked and forget a couple of things. Don’t stress too much; odds are the sibling or cousin you forgot about would be thrilled to open up a dank bag of kush on Christmas morning.
Lucky for you, there are actually a few dispensaries open on Christmas day ready to serve those forgetful consumers. While it’s best to give a local dispensary a call to guarantee they are open, this list is an excellent place to start.

Tips for the Christmas Day Shopper
Being forgetful is understandable, but make sure to be respectful and appreciative of the shops open on Christmas day. It’s best to be early when shopping on Christmas rather than the last customer of the day. Even though the above shops are open on Christmas day, it’s best to give them a call before going into the dispensary. Odds are everything is good, but it will save both the consumer and shop stress if the consumer calls ahead of time. Lastly, make sure to tip the budtender well on the holidays!
