WASHINGTON, Dec. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Post Office locations nationwide will be closed on Christmas Day, Friday, Dec. 25, 2020 and New Year’s Day, Friday, Jan. 1, 2021. All Post Office locations will be open after the holidays, and regular mail delivery will resume Dec. 26 and Jan. 2.
Some Post Office locations may have extended hours leading up to the holidays, while others may have limited hours on Christmas Eve, Thursday, Dec. 24. Although there are no plans for limited hours on New Year’s Eve, Thursday, Dec. 31, customers should always check with their local Post Office for hours of operation.
