Everyone loves Christmas. Everyone loves coffee. So it makes sense that the two should go together on Christmas Day, right? It also makes sense that not being able to get your daily cup of Dunkin' on Christmas morning could throw a wrench in your plans. As the big day draws near, you may be wondering if your favorite donut and coffee spot will be there to fuel all the festive fun. So here's the question: is Dunkin' Donuts open on Christmas Day? And what are Dunkin's Christmas hours? (You'll need to know—especially if Starbucks happens to be closed.)
Whether you need a pick-me-up before present opening or a break amidst the holiday hullabaloo, their coffee and donuts hit the spot. If Dunkin' is unexpectedly closed, you'll want a backup plan for your caffeine cravings. Thankfully, some convenience stores and pharmacies keep limited hours on Christmas, so you may still be able to get a quick cup of joe elsewhere. Can you pick something up at Walgreens or CVS? Will any other restaurants be open on Christmas Day? Probably, but crossing your fingers that somewhere nearby can deliver your usual Dunkin' order is risky! You're going to want a contingency plan this year—trust us.
The best strategy is to check Dunkin's Christmas hours at your local shops ahead of time. While they may operate on a reduced schedule for the holiday, there's a good chance you'll still be able to score your go-to latte and jelly donut. Knowing for sure beats being left high and dry, or should we say coffee-less on Christmas morning?
With a little planning, you can avoid the holiday horror of no Dunkin' and keep your seasonal cheer flowing. Confirm those Dunkin' Christmas hours now so your daily Dunkin' run doesn't turn into a holiday nightmare! And here's what we found out about whether you can make your Dunkin' run this year or not.

There's no set standard of hours that you can expect for Dunkin' on Christmas Day, as all locations are independent franchises. While many will adhere to their normal store hours, which is usually 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., some will be cutting their hours to open late and close early so employees can go home to their families. As always, before getting in the car, you should prepare by calling the store you plan to visit and asking whether the store's hours will be as usual. That's the best way to prepare.
