Colorado liquor stores will be open Christmas Day for second time ever

Dec 23, 2025, 2:54 PM | Updated: 9:41 pm

If you have family coming to town for the holidays and they tend to drive you crazy, there is good news for you this year!

There was one remaining day that liquor stores were prohibited from making sales in Colorado: Christmas…that was until May of 2024, when that rule was ditched when Governor Jared Polis signed SB24-231, Alcohol Beverage Liquor Advisory Group Recommendations, into law.

The bill included several changes to the law, mostly regarding business licensing, but tucked into the final section was the end of the decades-old ban on December 25 liquor sales.

If the liquor stores are smart, they’ll sell batteries on Christmas too…IYKYK!
