Hobby Lobby’s page words these as “Friday after Thanksgiving – 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.” and “Christmas Eve – 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.” The company’s Our Story page says it has more than 1,000 stores in 48 states, and the holiday list applies to all of them.

Is Hobby Lobby open on Sundays before Christmas?

No. Our Story says: “All Hobby Lobby stores are closed on Sunday.” That puts the last Sundays before Christmas, Dec. 6, 13 and 20, outside the shopping calendar, along with Nov. 29 and Dec. 27. The last full days before Christmas Eve are Mon., Dec. 21 through Wed., Dec. 23, and those days run on the regular Monday through Saturday hours. Plan craft and gift-wrapping supply trips for Saturday, Dec. 19, or the three weekdays after it.
