Is Starbucks Open on Christmas? Here Are Their 2023 Holiday Hours

Can you get your caffeine fix on Christmas morning? You're in luck.

If visions of festive Starbucks drinks are dancing in your head this holiday season, you aren't alone. As Christmas morning approaches, you're probably wondering: will I be able to get my peppermint mocha fix on the big day? That's a good question. An even better question: Is Starbucks open on Christmas Day?

Starbucks is basically synonymous with the holidays at this point. Sipping one of their seasonal lattes or cold brews in those iconic red cups just feels so much like Christmas. Getting your hands on some holiday cheer from Starbucks could be the perfect way to energize your present opening or enjoy quality time with loved ones...that is, if they're open.

So many grocery stores do end up going dark on Christmas Day. That means it's hard to keep track of what's open and closed. While stores like Walmart and Trader Joe's shut down for the holiday, spots like McDonald's and CVS stay open for business.

Before the holiday hustle, do some recon to see if your local Starbucks will be brewing up some Christmas magic. While hours may be reduced, there's a good chance you can still score your usual gingerbread latte or eggnog macchiato to spread some seasonal joy. Here's what we know about Starbucks' Christmas hours in 2023.

You're in luck, Starbies faithful. All standalone Starbucks locations will be open on Christmas Day, but hours will vary. Be sure to call ahead before your visit or use the online store locator to check and see what the schedule will look like. This means that Starbucks in stores like Target will likely be closed, so long as the main store is closed too. Others will be operating with limited hours, so you'll have to plan accordingly. Most locations will be open regular hours on Christmas Eve as well, so if you've got some last-minute shopping to do, there should be plenty of opportunities to get your caffeine fix while out and about.

Most Starbucks locations should adhere to their regular operating hours, typically 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time. Others can open earlier and stay open even later. But Christmas means there might be a smaller crew, and less opportunity for longer hours — Starbucks employees want to spend time with family, too. So you may see a reduced schedule. Be sure to confirm before heading out so you don't get to a location last-minute or waste gas and get your hopes up.
