Claire's is present in about 95% of US shopping malls, so its holiday hours are largely set by the mall it's inside — closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas the way most malls are, but otherwise following the mall's own schedule.
Claire's Hours Follow the Mall, Not a Standalone Schedule
Because the vast majority of Claire's locations operate inside enclosed shopping malls rather than as standalone storefronts, Claire's opens and closes when its host mall does. While Claire's corporate sets broad holiday directives, day-to-day and holiday hours are largely dictated by each individual mall's own operating schedule — so hours can differ significantly between two Claire's locations in different malls.

Because Claire's hours are set largely by the mall it's located in, always check the specific mall's holiday hours rather than assuming a single nationwide Claire's schedule.
