Last-Minute Christmas Day Quotes? Walmart's One-Hour Delivery Has You Covered Until 5 P.M. on December 24

Looking for those perfect last-minute gifts or forgotten ingredients before the holidays? Walmart just made your christmas day shopping plans a whole lot simpler. The retail giant is rolling out Express Delivery with lightning-fast one-hour turnaround times on orders placed up to 5 p.m. local time on Christmas Eve—giving you a genuine lifeline for holiday essentials and those desperately needed last-minute purchases.

How Walmart’s Holiday Delivery Window Works

The timeframe matters, so here’s what you need to know. If you’re ordering Express Delivery, you’ve got until 5 p.m. local time on December 24 to hit submit. For same-day pickup and standard delivery options, the cutoff moves up to 12 p.m. on December 24. Planning ahead for regular shipping? That deadline shifts even earlier—12:30 p.m. local time on December 23 ensures your items arrive by Christmas Day.

Walmart’s New “Get it Now” Feature Simplifies the Process

To streamline this already convenient service, Walmart introduced the “Get it Now” function within its mobile app. Here’s what makes it worth using: you’ll see your estimated delivery time displayed in actual minutes, not vague hour ranges. One tap places your order instantly—no multiple steps, no cart abandonment temptations. For customers new to Walmart’s delivery and pickup services, there’s an added bonus: use code HOLIDAY10 to score $10 off your first three orders.

Nationwide Coverage That Reaches 95% of Households

What really sets Walmart apart is the scale of its delivery infrastructure. The company’s logistics network now touches 95% of U.S. households with delivery completion in under three hours. That’s not just holiday theater—it’s genuine nationwide capability. Whether you’re shopping for christmas day gatherings, forgotten grocery items, or last-minute decorations, Walmart’s extended reach means most customers can actually rely on these aggressive delivery windows.

The combination of tight deadlines and streamlined technology means this holiday season, you can genuinely count on getting what you need, when you need it.
