This has never happened before. Four consecutive days without trading.

This year, for the first time, shopping will be restricted for four consecutive days from December 24 to 27 due to the trading ban on Christmas Eve and the first two days of Christmas. Small shops and gas stations will remain open under certain conditions. December will have three trading Sundays, and the Polish Council of Shopping Centers recommends utilizing these days to avoid crowds. A new law establishing December 24 as a public holiday for all workers, including those in retail, will take effect in 2025. The Sunday trading ban, gradually implemented since March 2018, allows trading only on specific Sundays throughout the year, with various exceptions.
