Many Michigan residents will wake up on Christmas morning only to realize they forgot to pick up something from the store before the holiday. Whether it’s an ingredient for dinner or an extra six-pack for Uncle Larry, it’s just one of those things you forgot.

Finding a store on Christmas Day can be a real challenge since most businesses close to allow their employees to spend the holiday with family. However, if you’re in a pinch, a handful of stores in Michigan stay open on December 25. Just remember, your choices are pretty limited.

While you won't find a whole lot open on Christmas Day, one thing you shouldn't have trouble finding is a gas station. Most gas stations in Michigan are open on Christmas Day, including Speedway, Circle K, Sheetz, Sunoco, and many more.
