Most Northeast Florida grocery stores are open under modified hours Wednesday, but Christmas Day will look very different, with Publix, Aldi and Winn-Dixie going dark while only a handful of specialty markets open for limited hours.
Because hours can vary by location, it’s always best to call or check a store’s website before you head out. Here’s what we know about local grocery store closures for Christmas.

The holiday mood is clearly reflected in the markets today, as investor sentiment shifts toward optimism. The Fear & Greed Index currently stands at 57, signaling that greed is back in control after a period of caution. This suggests that market participants are feeling confident, ready to take on risk, and are increasingly bullish in their positioning.
While December has been volatile, the seasonal cheer combined with positive momentum in equities has helped push sentiment higher. Investors are showing increased appetite for risk, favoring equities and growth-oriented assets over safe-haven instruments.
However, it’s important to remember that elevated greed can sometimes precede short-term corrections, so traders and investors should remain vigilant even amid the festive optimism.
In summary, as we approach the holidays, the market is leaning toward risk-taking, reflecting both seasonal factors and the broader economic mood.
