I'm not sure how it is in other places, but here in Madrid, El Corte Ingles is open on Christmas Eve (closed Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and Reyes).

Are they regular hours or just morning hours?

regular festivo hours... which means until 9pm, I think. If you look under "horarios" on the El Corte Inglés website, you can see a rundown of the days when a given location is open.
