The holidays are right around the corner! Thanksgiving is just days away and then we’ll be counting down the days to Christmas.
First, let’s talk about Thanksgiving, which will happen on Thursday, Nov. 28.
Major businesses in Metro Detroit, and across the U.S. will have different hours of operation for the holiday. Here’s a list of what businesses will be open and closed on Thanksgiving.
Now, onto Christmas. You probably have already seen holiday drinks at coffee shops and Christmas decorations at stores. Maybe, you’ve even joined in on the festivities and already have your tree up.

If you’re among those ready for Christmas, here’s your countdown.
Christmas happens on Dec. 25 each year. Xmasclock’s Christmas Countdown 2024 tracker features a red clock that counts down the days, minutes and seconds until Christmas.
