New Year’s Eve is typically a time for celebration. However, many people also need to shop. Whether you need last-minute items for an upcoming New Year’s Eve party or simply want to restock your groceries, you might be asking yourself, “Is Target open on New Year’s Eve 2025?” If so, here’s everything you need to know.
Is Target Open on New Year’s Eve 2025?
Yes, Target is open on New Year’s Eve 2025. However, some stores may close a little early. While Target stores are usually open until midnight, many locations will close at 9:00 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. That way, all of the closing activities can wrap up, and employees can celebrate the arrival of the new year with friends and family.
Additionally, any in-store or curbside pickup options aren’t available after 9:00 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. Similarly, you won’t be able to have a delivery arrive after that time. Since that’s the case, it’s best to plan ahead if you want to use those services, too, ensuring you can secure an appointment and get what you need before the store closes for New Year’s Eve.
Holiday Schedule at Target
Like the majority of big box stores, Target doesn’t close for many holidays. However, that doesn’t mean it never happens. Target does celebrate a few holidays by closing stores, ensuring employees can spend time with family and friends.
Here is a list of the holidays when Target usually closes:
- Easter
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
Additionally, Target stores typically close early on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Since that’s the case, you’ll need to plan to head to the store a bit earlier on those days if you usually shop late at night.
Finally, it’s critical to point out that Target was previously open on Thanksgiving, but the retailer changed course during the pandemic. While they’ve continued with the closures since making that decision, Target could choose to open on Thanksgiving again in the future. If that occurs, the company will likely announce it well in advance of Thanksgiving. However, it’s better to assume that closing on Thanksgiving is the new status quo and plan any shopping near that holiday accordingly.
