Baskin-Robbins is closed on Thanksgiving 2025. I agree that it is definitely a delightful option for sweet treats this Thanksgiving, and you must have already planned a visit to make your Thanksgiving more special.

But now that Baskin-Robbins is closed, you can explore some restaurants serving similar, flavorful, sweet dishes or maybe try something completely different.
Why Is Baskin-Robbins Closed During Thanksgiving?
Baskin-Robbins will be closed on Thanksgiving 2025 to give its staff a chance to enjoy the Holiday and go out with their friends and families.
Most Baskin-Robbins outlets will be shut, but some might be working reduced operational hours. Check the same at your nearest Baskin-Robbins outlet.

Just because it will not be open on Thanksgiving doesn’t mean that Baskin-Robbins would not delve into the spirit of the Holidays. They have come with the Dubai Chocolate Collection with the November Flavor of the Month, Pistachio Chocolate Bar Icecream. The full lineup is: Dubai Chocolate Sundae, Pistachio Chocolate Bar Icecream, and Dubai Chocolate Shake.
Similar Restaurant Chains That Are Open/Closed On Thanksgiving 2025
- Moe’s Southwest Grill – Moe’s Southwest Grill serves some of the best Mexican food ever, on most holidays too! However, they do remain closed on Thanksgiving every year.
