Most Starbucks stores have shorter hours on Christmas, and many are closed entirely, so how late they stay open depends heavily on the specific location and store type. Some city, airport, hotel, or grocery-store locations may stay open for part of the day with limited evening hours, while many suburban shops close all day or shut down by late afternoon.

Typical Christmas Day pattern

  • Many regular Starbucks cafĂ©s are closed on Christmas Day, especially standalone suburban stores.
  • Locations that do open usually run on reduced hours, often just a small daytime window rather than normal morning‑to‑night schedules.
  • Airport, hotel, and some grocery or big‑box licensed locations are the most likely to be open later in the day, but closing times still vary widely by city and store.

How late are they usually open?

There is no single nationwide “latest time” for Starbucks on Christmas, but these patterns are common in the U.S.

  • Standalone neighborhood cafĂ©s: often closed all day; if open, they may close by mid‑afternoon (around 2–4 p.m.).
  • Grocery or big‑box locations: follow the host store’s shortened holiday schedule, usually closing in the late afternoon or early evening.
  • Airport and hotel locations: most likely to stay open into the evening, with some operating close to normal hours depending on travel demand.

Best way to know your store’s hours

Because hours differ even between nearby stores, the only reliable way to see “how late” your Starbucks is open on Christmas is to check that exact store.

  • Use the official Starbucks store locator or mobile app to view holiday hours for your specific location.
  • Also check your store’s Google listing or call directly, since some locations post last‑minute changes close to December 25.

Bottom line: Most Starbucks either close all day or shut down by mid‑afternoon on Christmas, with only select airport, hotel, and some licensed locations staying open later, so always confirm your exact store’s Christmas schedule before you go.
