Dunkin Christmas Hours 2025: Exactly When Your Local Store Opens on December 25

For coffee lovers plotting their holiday caffeine run, here’s what to know about Dunkin’ Christmas hours this year. Dunkin’s national guidance: An official corporate spokesperson confirms that most franchised restaurants plan to open both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but with reduced schedules. Typical Christmas Eve hours run about 5 a.m.–7 p.m., while many locations shorten Christmas Day to roughly 6 a.m.–2 p.m. Because stores are 100 percent franchise-owned, each operator sets final hours locally. Christmas Eve (Wednesday, Dec. 24) • Early birds welcome: The majority of shops open at their normal predawn time, usually 5 a.m. or 6 a.m. • Earlier closing: Expect doors to shut two-to-four hours sooner than a standard weekday, typically by 7 p.m. Christmas Day (Thursday, Dec. 25) • Limited service: Most participating restaurants plan a single morning-to-early-afternoon shift, often 6 a.m.–2 p.m. • 24-hour exceptions: Select travel-plaza and hospital sites stay open around the clock. Key tips before you go 1. Check the store locator or Dunkin’ mobile app for live updates; last-minute staffing changes can alter posted times. 2. Drive-thru lanes generally mirror lobby hours; however, some drive-thrus remain open a half-hour later to ease post-dinner traffic. 3. Mobile ordering is enabled during whatever hours a shop lists as “open,” so place ahead to skip the holiday rush. Seasonal menu reminder Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte, Holiday Blend drip coffee, and Frosted Snowflake doughnuts return for Christmas week, while MUNCHKINS® 25-count holiday buckets are priced two dollars off through December 27 at participating stores. Traveling? Dunkin’ locations inside airports typically follow terminal operating schedules, sometimes opening as early as 4 a.m. and closing after the final departure. Service-plaza outlets on I-95 and the Ohio Turnpike advertise 24-hour coffee on both December 24 and 25, but baked goods shift to “while supplies last.” Bottom line: Dunkin’ will be open on Christmas—just not necessarily for the whole day. Verify your neighborhood hours now so you can grab that peppermint pick-me-up without a holiday headache.
