As Americans continue their countdown to the Christmas holidays, some may be curious what Starbucks coffee locations will be open for a quick drink and/or snack.
Christmas Eve 2023, celebrated on December 24, is on a Sunday this year, meaning that many stores, offices and other services will be closed. Christmas Eve is not a federal holiday but is widely celebrated across the nation.
Newsweek previously compiled a list detailing which stores will be open on Christmas Eve, such as Walmart, CVS, Target and Walgreens. While some may need to do some last-minute shopping on Christmas Eve, others may be interested in knowing what food and coffee locations will be open on the holiday.
On their website, Starbucks says that store hours for the Christmas holidays will vary by store location. Newsweek reached out to Starbucks via email for further information.
"Stores may occasionally adjust their hours based on business and customer needs," Starbucks says.
Customers are encouraged to use the Starbucks app or the Starbucks store locater on their website to check for their local location's opening and closing hours for Christmas Eve. "The Starbucks app continues to be the best way for customers to find a store, check store hours, and order ahead and pay."
Newsweek reviewed some Starbucks store locations and their hours for Sunday, December 24.
In New York City, several Starbucks locations state that they have normal operating hours for Sunday, including locations at Park Row at Beekman St, Church Street & Murray, Nassau & Fulton, Chambers and West Broadway, and the World Trade Center Oculus.
On the other hand, New York locations at Lafayette & Worth, Broadway & Reade, 375 Pearl Street and 6th Ave at Walker Street state they will be closed on Sunday for Christmas Eve.
In Los Angeles, Newsweek's review of some locations shows Starbucks located at Two Cal Plaza and 5th & Grand - Gas Co. Tower being closed on Sunday for Christmas Eve.
A majority of other Starbucks locations in Los Angeles show that they will be open on Christmas Eve, but it is always best to check with your local location for any last-minute changes to operating hours.
In Chicago, Starbucks locations at Clark & Jackson, State & Adams, 55 E. Jackson, Jackson & Wells, 200 West Adams, Madison & Wells, 30 N. LaSalle and some others will be closed on Sunday for Christmas Eve.
Other locations in Chicago, such as LaSalle & Monroe, 200 S. Michigan Avenue, 8 North Michigan, Randolph & Wabash, and 200 North Michigan Avenue, are open on Sunday.
Overall, it is best to check with your local location using the Starbucks app in order to determine if the Christmas Eve holiday will affect the store's opening and closing hours.
