Walmart is ambitiously extending its squeaky-clean express delivery window to 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve, a full hour later than last year — probably the only place where procrastinators get rewarded. According to David Guggina, Walmart's e-commerce ringmaster, their service reaches a cheeky 95% of U.S. households within three hours or less. December's express orders spike 2.5 times, likely fueled by the realization that, yes, you can order a talking plush Bluey doll & whipped cream while grandma stares at your gift basket. Target and Amazon are nap hustling with two-hour deliveries and 25,000 pickup spots, but Walmart's ‘Get it Now’ tap-to-order option means you can legit order pie toppings mid-dessert. It’s a holiday miracle for last-minute shoppers and a logistics nightmare for drivers everywhere.
