Overview
- Thanksgiving in the United States falls on Thursday, November 27, 2025.
- Best Buy and Trader Joe’s confirmed all U.S. stores will be closed on the holiday, with Best Buy’s app and website operating as usual; USA Today’s checks indicate Walmart, Target, Costco, Sam’s Club, Publix, Aldi and others will also be closed.
- Some grocers plan limited service, including Kroger, Sprouts and Whole Foods, with Whole Foods noting closures for stores in Massachusetts, Maine and Rhode Island and varying hours elsewhere.
- Affordability efforts include Amazon’s customizable $25 dinner-for-five available November 12–27, alongside low-cost holiday bundles from Aldi, Walmart, Sam’s Club and Lidl, plus community turkey and meal giveaways scheduled in North Carolina and across Dallas–Fort Worth.
- A developing outlook points to rain in parts of the West, warmer-than-normal conditions in the South and chances for light to moderate snow in northern New England, the Upper Midwest and higher elevations of the Intermountain West, which could affect busy holiday travel.
