Christmas Eve E-Commerce Insights: What Shoppers Are Doing on Dec 24

Merry Christmas Eve
If you're checking dashboards today, you're not alone.
Dec 24 is quieter than Black Friday — but it's far from dead.

Here's what shoppers are actually doing today, and how smart sellers respond.

Last-minute buying still happens

But the mindset is different.
Today, shoppers aren't browsing for fun — they're solving problems.

Common intent today:
Forgot a gift | Orders didn't arrive | Need something instant | Buying for themselves

That's why digital products, gift cards, subscriptions, and fast-shipping SKUs still convert.

Mobile traffic spikes, desktop drops

Mobile dominates on Dec 24.

People shop:
On the couch | In the car | Between family activities

If your store loads slowly on mobile, you lose.
If checkout is complicated, you lose faster.

Simple wins:
Fewer pop-ups | Clear delivery expectations | Fast checkout buttons

Shipping expectations change completely

Shoppers already know Christmas delivery is gone.

What they care about now:
Clear timelines | Honest messaging | Post-Christmas delivery dates

Pretending “arrives by Christmas” kills trust instantly.

Smart sellers switch to:
Ships after Christmas | Delivered in 3–7 business days | Digital delivery today

Clarity beats urgency today.

What this means for sellers

Christmas Eve isn't about pushing harder.
It's about not breaking trust.

If your messaging, logistics, and backend stay stable today,
you earn long-term customers — not just holiday revenue.
