Staples stores will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on New Year's Day, a company spokesperson told USA TODAY, while Office Depot and OfficeMax stores will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Most Americans likely won't be dashing through the snow for Christmas, given this year's unseasonably warm weather, but many may need to dash to the store for last-minute dinner ingredients or essentials. Most major retail stores and grocery chains are closed on Christmas Day, with a few notable exceptions.

JCPenney, J. Crew, Abercrombie & Fitch, H&M, Zara, American Eagle Outfitters, UNIQLO and Urban Outfitters are being less Scrooge-like with their return fees, with a more nominal range from $3.99 to $8.
