Here are some options for consumers who want to go browsing in stores for gifts way past the midnight hour, and at the very last minute just before Christmas. **Kohl's: Open 170 Hours Straight** Starting on Thursday at 8 a.m., Kohl's stores around the country went into 24/7 shopping mode, and they won't close until 6 p.m. on Dec. 24. All told, it's a [170-hour shopping marathon](https://money.com/kiohlsopen-170-hours-straight-until-christmas/). **Walmart: Open until 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve** Many Walmart stores are open 24/7 year-round, so they'll of course be open to shoppers in need of gifts at 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. And while stores like Macy's and Target are generally calling it a night on Christmas Eve at 5 p.m. or 6 p.m., Walmart is staying [open until 8 p.m.](http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20151217006592/en/Star-Wars-Free-Shipping-Day-Walmart-Ready). **Toys R Us: Open Until 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve** From Saturday, Dec. 19, through the following Tuesday, [Toys R Us](http://www.toysrusinc.com/press-room/releases/general/2015/toysrus-offers-extended-store-hours-and-special-savings-for-last/) locations will increase hours and be closed for only four hours daily—they'll shut at 2 a.m. and open back up at 6 a.m. Then, starting on Wednesday, Dec. 23, stores open at 6 a.m. and stay open for 39 hours straight, finally shutting down at 9 p.m. the following day, Christmas Eve. **J.C. Penney: Open 6 a.m. day after Christmas** J.C. Penney is following up its decision to open at 3 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day with stores opening at 8 a.m. (rather than the usual 9 a.m. or 10 a.m.) now through Dec. 23, and then on Dec. 24 doors open at 7 a.m. Closing times vary by location, but many are open until midnight daily through Dec. 23. They'll close for Christmas, and be back open at [6 a.m. on Dec. 26](http://www.jcpenney.com/jsp/browse/marketing/promotion.jsp?pageId=pg40022900012).
