Is Canes Open on Christmas?

No — Raising Cane’s will be closed on Christmas Day, Wednesday, December 25, 2025.

Every year, Cane’s shuts its doors nationwide to give crew members a full day off to celebrate with their families. This reflects the brand’s Louisiana-based values and “people-first” culture built by founder Todd Graves.

The company applies the same closure policy on Thanksgiving Day and Easter Sunday.

Is Cane’s Open on Christmas Eve?

Yes — most Raising Cane’s locations are open on Christmas Eve (Tuesday, December 24, 2025).

However, hours are usually shorter. Most restaurants will close between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM, depending on the city.

Franchise-owned stores or mall-based locations may adjust hours slightly to match local business schedules.

✅ Tip: Use the official Raising Cane’s Store Locator or Google Maps to confirm your local hours before visiting.
