×Starbucks Thanksgiving hours: If there’s one day of the year when an extra cup of caffeine feels essential, it’s Thanksgiving. Many people like to swing by Starbucks before the holiday rush truly begins. But as with many national chains, Thanksgiving schedules don’t always look the same from store to store. Since Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025, it’s worth double-checking whether your neighbourhood Starbucks will be open before you head out the door.

Starbucks' Thanksgiving hours will vary by location. Many stores will run reduced hours on Nov. 27, and the chain advises customers to use its store locator to verify operating times.
If your go-to Starbucks happens to be located inside another retailer, there’s another factor to consider. Some stores rely on the host retailer’s holiday policy. As noted, “If your usual location happens to be inside another retailer, you should check that retailer's holiday hours as well.” That means if your Starbucks is inside a Target, it will follow Target’s policy, and Target will be closed on Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, chains like Kroger will stay open for limited hours, as quoted in a report by People.

Because every store sets its own hours, “the best way to find out what time your local chain will be open is to contact them directly or use the company's store locator.” That simple step can save you a frustrated detour during an already busy morning, as per a report by People.
For those hoping for a themed drink, Starbucks is keeping its holiday offerings consistent with previous years. According to the brand, “No, Starbucks isn't offering any drinks exclusive to Thanksgiving.” Still, the 2025 holiday menu, which launched on Nov. 6, carries plenty of festive flavors that many customers enjoy throughout the season.
Drinks like the Iced Sugar Cookie Latte, Eggnog Latte, Iced Gingerbread Chai, Peppermint Mocha, and Caramel Brulée Latte are all part of the lineup. Some lean more Christmas than Thanksgiving, but they’re still favorites for holiday sipping. Although there’s no specific Thanksgiving drink, Starbucks does offer a Thanksgiving whole bean coffee blend with “notes of candied pecan, sage and dried fig.”
If your neighborhood Starbucks isn’t open on Thanksgiving or is operating on limited hours, there are several other options for a caffeine run, as per a report by People.
