Need emergency food for Nochebuena or Christmas? See open Miami markets

Maybe you have some unexpected holiday guests and not enough food. Or your ham or turkey didn’t exactly come out edible. Or dill ... can’t believe there’s no dill in the cupboard.

South Florida supermarkets and other stores that carry food can come to the rescue. But you’ll need to know their Nochebuena and Christmas Day hours.

Here’s a rundown:
