Here's a quick breakdown of what is open and closed on Thanksgiving 2025 to help you out in a pinch should you have a missing cranberry sauce crisis."
"But first let's take a look at everyday services: Is Thanksgiving a federal holiday? Yes, Thanksgiving is a federal holiday celebrated annually in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November. This makes November 27 the big day in 2025. Federal workers get a day off to observe the holiday. Will mail be delivered on Thanksgiving? No, there will be no letter or bills delivered on Thanksgiving. The only exception is Priority Mail Express."
Thanksgiving 2025 falls on November 27 and is a federal holiday, granting federal employees the day off. Mail services will not deliver letters or bills, with Priority Mail Express as the only USPS exception; some self-service kiosks remain open.

Several grocery chains operate limited hours on Thanksgiving, including Whole Foods (hours vary), Sprouts (7 a.m.–2 p.m.), H Mart (varies), Kroger (limited hours, many close by 5 p.m.), and Meijer (6 a.m.–5 p.m.).
