The holiday tradition of eating Chinese food on Christmas is going strong, according to Yelp data shared with Axios.

The big picture: Yelp searches for Chinese restaurants spike every December. Last year, Christmas Day searches were 99% higher than any other day in the month, the platform told Axios.

The hunt to find last-minute Christmas gifts and missing ingredients for your holiday meal is on.

The big picture: Many convenience store chains and drugstores are open on Christmas Monday but most grocery stores and retailers are closed.

If you need ingredients for another batch of Christmas cookies or more eggnog, watch the clock on Sunday.

Why it matters: Most grocery stores will close earlier than usual on Sunday (Christmas Eve) and many will stay closed on Christmas.

Time is almost out to shop for last-minute Christmas gifts or order them for pickup or same-day delivery.

Why it matters: Most stores close early for Christmas Eve and most will stay closed on Christmas Day, including Walmart, Best Buy and Macy's.
