Is Starbucks open on Christmas Eve?

If you’re craving a festive cup of coffee on Christmas Eve, Starbucks will be open and operating on a shortened holiday schedule.

With all that last-minute gift shopping, Christmas Eve can easily be one of the most stressful days of the year. What better way to stay warm and energized than with a festive cup of coffee? And we all know the best cup of coffee, especially during the holidays, comes from Starbucks.

If you’re in need of your daily caffeine fix this weekend, don’t fret. According to Secret Menus, the majority of Starbucks locations will remain open on Christmas Eve. Their hours will merely be shortened. Instead of their regular hours of operation, most Starbucks chains will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the holiday.

Of course, it’s always a good idea to check in with your local chain before heading over. The hours of some locations may differ, depending on management.

If you have yet to try out the Starbucks seasonal menu, Christmas Eve is the perfect opportunity to grab a holiday flavored coffee. The Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, and Toasted White Chocolate Mocha are this year’s indulgences of choice. The usual winter specials, including the Gingerbread and Eggnog lattes, will also be available through the holiday season.

And if you really feel like treating yourself, the bakery menu also features some delicious seasonal snacks. Whether you choose a snowman or polar bear cake pop, a candy cane flavored whoopie pie, or a Christmas shaped cookie, you really can’t go wrong.
