Chick-fil-A Announces Holiday Closures and Seasonal Menu for 2025

Chick-fil-A has officially announced its holiday operating schedule for 2025, confirming that all locations will close on Christmas Day. This closure is one of only two instances each year when the popular fast-food chain halts operations entirely, allowing employees to spend quality time with family and friends. While many customers look forward to indulging in the chain’s signature offerings, the closure reflects Chick-fil-A’s commitment to family values and community.

In contrast to its closure on December 25, 2025, Chick-fil-A will remain open on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day 2026. However, customers should be aware that operating hours may vary by location, so it is advisable to check the Chick-fil-A restaurant locator on the company’s website for specific schedules. Normal operations will resume following the holiday period, with the chain continuing its regular Sunday closures.

Seasonal Offerings for the 2025 Holidays

For those planning holiday gatherings, Chick-fil-A has announced catering options available for pickup or delivery throughout the holiday season. Customers can choose from a variety of entrees, sides, desserts, and beverages. Availability and menu options may differ by location, so early planning is recommended to ensure a smooth holiday experience.

Additionally, Chick-fil-A has reintroduced its winter holiday menu, featuring seasonal favorites available for a limited time at locations nationwide. Some highlights include:

– Peppermint Chip Milkshake: A blend of Chick-fil-A Icedream with peppermint-bark chips, topped with whipped cream and a cherry.
– Peppermint Chip Frosted Coffee: Cold-brewed coffee mixed with peppermint syrup and Icedream, finished with peppermint-bark chips.
– Peppermint Iced Coffee: A refreshing blend of cold-brew coffee and milk, sweetened with pure cane and peppermint syrup.
– Chicken Tortilla Soup: A creamy soup featuring shredded chicken breast, navy and black beans, vegetables, and crispy tortilla strips.
– 30-count Nugget Tray: A party tray containing 30 Chick-fil-A nuggets.

Chick-fil-A is also testing two new menu items during this holiday season. The Chicken & Waffles Breakfast Sandwich, available in both Original and Spicy versions, will be offered at select locations in Baltimore, Maryland and San Antonio, Texas. The pilot program for these sandwiches will run through January 24, 2026.

As the fast-food chain gears up for the holiday season, customers are encouraged to take advantage of the special menu items and catering options. With Chick-fil-A’s commitment to quality and service, the holidays promise to be a time of joy and delicious offerings for fans across the nation.
