Good to know
Applebee's holiday guidance is that select restaurants open and hours may vary or be reduced; check your restaurant in the locator. Thanksgiving 2025 and Christmas 2025 come from FOX Television Stations (https://www.fox5dc.com/news/thanksgiving-2025-restaurants-will-be-open-holiday, https://www.fox29.com/news/restaurants-open-christmas-eve-christmas-day-2025). Conflicts: a FOX station list said Applebee's would keep normal hours on July 4, 2026 (https://www.fox29.com/news/july-4th-2026-whats-open-closed), but the company's statement to Fox Business said only select restaurants would open; and FOX stations listed Christmas Eve 2025 hours of 11 AM to 8 PM, while the company said in 2024 that hours vary and most restaurants close early. Applebee's was also listed as open on Easter 2024 and July 4, 2025 by CBS News.
