While Omicron has more or less disrupted our plans for a rowdy New Year's Eve, we still have plenty left to celebrate—be it from the couch rather than the club. The year brought major wins: Life-saving COVID-19 vaccines, Popeyes' new chicken nuggets that rival its record-breaking sandwich, and Britney Spears finally being freed of her conservatorship. 

Whether you're celebrating those 2021 successes or merely eager to ring in a fresh start, you'll likely need some last-minute provisions. A six-liter of Veuve, perhaps? Or, in true pandemic fashion, an at-home COVID test?

Here's what retailers, grocery stores, and gyms are open this New Year's Eve.

Is Starbucks Open on New Year's Eve?

Since there's a societal expectation of sorts to stay up late, and at the very least, catch the ball drop, you may need that extra caffeine boost to survive New Year's Eve. Luckily, Starbucks is open December 31, but hours will vary based on location. It might be wise to give your local shop a quick call before swinging by for that espresso shot.
