Unfortunately, if you're missing adobo, chicken stock, condensed milk, mojo, or an ingredient you can only get at a grocery store or supermarket in Miami, most stores are closed on Christmas Day.
Publix, Milam's, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Walmart, Target, Costco, Aldi, and even Winn-Dixie are all closed to respect the annual holiday. Select Price Choice Foodmarkets may be open, but we recommend calling them in advance.
However, there is one supermarket in Miami that seems to be the gift that keeps on giving on Christmas, and it's Sedano's.
Yes, the gusto es nuestro! (If the supermarket's old slogan and television jingle don't immediately come to mind when you read the name, are you even a true Miamian?)
