Christmas 2025: What's Open, Closed on Dec. 25?
Financial markets, banks, and major retailers nationwide closed for the federal holiday with some essential services and select stores operating on reduced hours.
- On Thursday, Dec. 25, 2025, banks were closed, the U.S. Postal Service suspended all post office operations and mail delivery, and the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq did not trade.
- As background, Christmas is a federal holiday dating to 1870, and President Donald Trump issued an executive order granting federal workers days off on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, and Friday, December 26, 2025, but private businesses set their own hours.
- Major retailers and carriers adjusted schedules: many stores like Walmart and Target closed early Dec. 24 and all day Dec. 25, while UPS and FedEx suspended services and some 7-Eleven, Denny's, and Starbucks remained open.
- Consumers had limited options on Christmas Day and were advised to check local hours, while regular mail service and retail stores will resume on Friday, Dec. 26, 2025.
- Only non-essential federal workers received extra adjacent days off while essential services stayed open, past presidents granted limited holiday extensions, and municipal services delayed trash pickup with free downtown parking on Thursday.
