Christmas Day 2021: What's Open and Closed on December 25

Walmart

Shoppers hoping to by any (very) last-minute presents at Walmart will have to look elsewhere. The big box retailer has opted to close its doors on Christmas Day nationwide, something that has been a tradition for years now. The decision follows Walmart's decision to keep stores closed on Thanksgiving this year, too. Stores are set to reopen with normal business hours of 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 26.

Target

While Target is keeping its doors open on Christmas Eve, with operating hours of 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 24, the retailer will be closed on Christmas Day. Similar to Walmart, the decision is not much of a surprise, as Target typically chooses to remain closed on Christmas Day. It is also important to note that the retailer recently made the announcement that it will remain closed on Thanksgiving permanently, instead leaving those early Black Friday sales to be online.

Starbucks

Whether you are heading to see family on Christmas Day or starting your trip back home, a coffee pick-me-up thankfully won't be too difficult to come by. Most Starbucks locations will be open on Christmas Day. In a previous statement to Delish regarding their stance on remaining open on Christmas, a spokesperson said, "Starbucks stores are a gathering place for the entire community and customers use our stores to connect over coffee in different ways every day. We are happy to welcome customers on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in select store locations. Store hours vary by location, and stores may occasionally adjust their hours based on business and customer needs."

While it is likely that your local Starbucks location will be open on Dec. 25, it is always a good idea to give them a call to make sure. It is likely that while open, Starbucks stores will be operating on shortened hours due to the holiday, meaning some stores may close early.

Dunkin

"America runs on Dunkin," and as such, the beloved coffee chain is set to keep most of its locations open on Christmas Day, though similar to Starbucks, it is advised you check your nearest location to confirm. A Dunkin spokesperson told Country Living, "While many Dunkin' locations will be open on Christmas, we encourage our guests to check the Dunkin' Mobile App to confirm if their local store is open before visiting."
