Olive Garden Confirms Holiday Closures for All Locations

Olive Garden has confirmed plans to close its 950-plus restaurants on Thanksgiving and Christmas, allowing employees time with family and friends. The chain will shut down fully on November 26 and December 25 this year. While the closures span two separate holidays rather than a continuous period, some locations may also close early on the day before Thanksgiving or on Christmas Eve based on local management decisions. Customers planning to visit during these dates are advised to check with their nearby restaurant for updated hours.
