Trader Joe's is great all-year round, but the store is especially useful during the holiday season! The list of Trader Joe's Christmas items is simply unmatched, but their pumpkin foods truly thrive during fall and Thanksgiving. Speaking of, as you begin to plan your Thanksgiving menu, it's no question that you'll be paying a visit to the store, probably more than a few times a week!

These are questions worth asking: While there are a handful of grocery stores open on Thanksgiving, many observe limited holiday hours to offer their employees time to spend with friends and family. Although you certainly don't plan to do your shopping on the holiday itself, it's totally understandable if you forget something or run out of an important item. Or, maybe you just want to stop by and pick up a bouquet of flowers for your host (Trader Joe's floral offerings are gorgeous and affordable!).
If you're pondering a Turkey Day Trader Joe's visit, read on for everything you need to know about their holiday hours.
Is Trader Joe's open on Thanksgiving 2023?
We don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but Trader Joe's will not open on Thanksgiving in 2023. In fact, it's always closed on the November holiday. But that doesn't mean you can't do your food shopping there—just make sure to plan your trip in advance so that you can pick up all of your Thanksgiving necessities. Oh, and don't forget about the store's huge dessert selection—if, heaven forbid, your oven were to break down, you could always grab an already-made pumpkin pie from the TJ's bakery!
P.S. If you're really not in the cooking mood this year, there are always plenty of restaurants open on Thanksgiving. We've got your back!
