Home Depot Holiday Hours 2026 for Every Major Holiday
Home Depot is closed on just two holidays in 2026: Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
Five other holidays get shorter hours. That includes Easter, when stores open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. instead of closing.
These Home Depot holiday hours come from the company’s own 2026 schedule. Your store’s page still has the final word on local times.
Full 2026 Holiday Schedule
Home Depot’s schedule lists ten dates. Two are closed, two keep regular hours, five run shorter, and Black Friday gets a listed 6 a.m. opening.
| Holiday | Date | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Easter | Sun, Apr 5 | 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. |
| Memorial Day | Mon, May 25 | Regular hours |
| Independence Day | Sat, Jul 4 | Close 8 p.m. |
| Labor Day | Mon, Sep 7 | Regular hours |
| Thanksgiving | Thu, Nov 26 | Closed |
| Black Friday | Fri, Nov 27 | Open 6 a.m. |
| Christmas Eve | Thu, Dec 24 | Close 5 p.m. |
| Christmas Day | Fri, Dec 25 | Closed |
| New Year’s Eve | Thu, Dec 31 | Close 6 p.m. |
| New Year’s Day | Fri, Jan 1, 2027 | 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. |
The company published the list on March 30, 2026, on its corporate news site, and it tells shoppers to check the store locator because times can vary by location.
The chart makes one thing obvious. Outside the two closed days, the changes are small, usually a few hours trimmed off the evening.
Shorter Hours on Five Holidays
Easter Sunday
Easter is the surprise on the list. Home Depot’s 2026 schedule had stores open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 5, a shorter Sunday rather than a closure.
That’s a normal Sunday morning at many stores with a 6 p.m. close instead of the usual 8. Easter lands in peak garden-center season, so it’s a day worth checking rather than assuming.
The exception is the small group of stores that never open on Sundays. Home Depot’s store data shows its Bergen County, New Jersey, locations, such as Paramus and Hackensack, with no Sunday hours because of the county’s blue laws, so Easter is closed there like every other Sunday.
Independence Day
Stores close at 8 p.m. on July 4. In 2026 the holiday fell on a Saturday, so it cost shoppers two hours on what’s usually a 10 p.m. night.
Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day
Three shorter days surround the Christmas Day closure. Stores close at 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve and at 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, then open late, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., on New Year’s Day.
New Year’s Day has the latest opening on Home Depot’s list, 9 a.m. A contractor planning a 7 a.m. pickup on January 1 will find the doors locked for two more hours.
Days Home Depot Is Closed
Only Thanksgiving, November 26, and Christmas Day, December 25, are full closures in 2026. Both days, homedepot.com and the app keep taking orders.
Phone help differs between the two. The online customer care line, 1-800-430-3376, normally runs 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. Eastern every day, and Home Depot names Christmas Day as its one closed day.
Black Friday follows Thanksgiving with a 6 a.m. opening. The Thanksgiving week schedule covers that stretch day by day.
For anyone working there, Home Depot’s careers site lists six paid holidays a year, one of the benefits in the Home Depot jobs and pay breakdown.
Holidays With Regular Hours
Memorial Day and Labor Day are on Home Depot’s list as regular-hours days. They’re big project weekends, so closing would make little sense for a store built around them.
Several holidays aren’t on the list at all:
- Martin Luther King Jr. Day
- Presidents Day
- Juneteenth
- Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day
- Veterans Day, when the year-round military discount applies as usual
Home Depot doesn’t publish changes for those days, so expect your store’s posted hours. Halloween, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day work the same way.
How 2026 Compares With 2025
Home Depot’s holiday pattern barely moves from year to year. The 2025 version of the same page, dated November 20, 2025, listed identical closings and early closes for the end of the year.
Two differences are worth knowing. The 2025 list only started at Thanksgiving Eve, while the 2026 list was posted in March and covers the whole year, Easter included.
The Black Friday wording changed too. In 2025 it said regular hours, and in 2026 it says open 6 a.m., which is the same thing at most stores.
That consistency is useful. If you’re planning around a holiday in early 2027 before the next schedule is out, last year’s pattern is a safe first guess, which you should then confirm with your store.
Holiday dates to watch in 2027
Here are the 2027 dates next to what Home Depot did on each holiday in 2026. The hours column is last year’s schedule, not a promise for next year.
| Holiday | 2027 date | 2026 hours |
|---|---|---|
| Easter | Sun, Mar 28 | 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. |
| Memorial Day | Mon, May 31 | Regular hours |
| Independence Day | Sun, Jul 4 | Close 8 p.m. |
| Labor Day | Mon, Sep 6 | Regular hours |
| Thanksgiving | Thu, Nov 25 | Closed |
| Christmas Day | Sat, Dec 25 | Closed |
Two quirks stand out. July 4 lands on a Sunday in 2027, when most stores already close at 8 p.m., so the usual early close may change nothing at all.
Christmas Day falls on a Saturday, normally a 16-hour shopping day. If the closure holds, that weekend’s project shopping squeezes into an early-closing Christmas Eve on Friday and a regular Sunday.
Tool Rental, Pickup and Refunds Around Holidays
In-store services follow the store’s schedule. Home Depot says its Tool Rental Centers keep the same hours as the store they’re in, so a Christmas Eve rental has to be back by the 5 p.m. close. Miss it and Christmas Day is closed, which pushes the return to December 26.
Curbside and in-store pickup wait for the doors to open, too. Online orders keep moving on closed days, but they won’t be ready for pickup until the store reopens.
Refunds can slow down. Home Depot’s refund policy says mailed returns take up to 7 business days to process, plus up to 10 business days at the bank, and a footnote warns that holidays can stretch that.
Returning something in person avoids the wait, since in-store refunds are processed on the spot. The regular Home Depot hours guide covers the everyday schedule, curbside included.
Checking Your Own Store
Each store’s page on homedepot.com and in the app lists its hours. City stores are the ones most likely to differ, since some already open later than 6 a.m. on normal days.
For a late errand on Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve, I’d check the page that morning and plan to be done an hour before close. An early close leaves no slack for the part you forgot.
