:santa: Depends where you are living.
Many tourist areas have shops that open all through the period. Here in Callao there may be 24 hours of closure for our local supermarkets in total.
Boxing Day is not a bank holiday.
January 5th-6th Three Kings, and 24th December are more traditionally Spanish festivals than the 25th.
December 6th and 8th are public holidays as well.
Many shops are permitted to open on Sundays in the lead up to the big event and are open late into the night for the Kings festival eve.
