Forget Santa's cookies? Need a last-minute Christmas ham? The holidays are a busy time and stopping by the store for those remaining few items can be a chore. But if you leave it too late, the shops will be shut.

Lucky for stressed shoppers, most Phoenix grocery stores are open – at least in the morning – on Dec. 24. Almost all Valley grocery stores will be closed on Dec. 25. But there are a couple of spots that will keep the lights on this Christmas. 

Here's which Phoenix grocery stores will be open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to make your holiday celebration delicious.
