Is FedEx running on Christmas Day?
FedEx · Christmas Day
Closed
No — FedEx is closed on Christmas Day, with no pickup or delivery.
December 25 is a full FedEx holiday. Nothing is picked up, nothing is delivered, and drop boxes aren't emptied; FedEx Custom Critical is the only service running. Anything scheduled to arrive that day arrives on the next business day instead.
The days on either side don't match each other. Christmas Eve is a working day with modified pickups, and December 26 is a regular service day when it falls on a weekday — so the closure is one day, not a stretch.
| Holiday | Date | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | Thursday, December 24, 2026 | Modified Deliveries run on Christmas Eve; Ground pickups are modified and drop-box pickups run early in some areas. |
| Christmas Day | Friday, December 25, 2026 | Closed No FedEx pickup or delivery on Christmas. |

Questions people ask
Are FedEx Office stores open on Christmas?
No. FedEx Office keeps its own hours: closed on Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's Day; modified hours with some locations closed on the other big holidays; open on most modified-service days. Hours vary by location, so check yours before making the trip.
When does FedEx start delivering again after Christmas?
The next business day — December 26 when that's a weekday. When the 26th is a Saturday, FedEx Home Delivery runs in most areas, so residential deliveries can still arrive.
