62 National Restaurants Open Christmas Day And Christmas Eve 2023
A number of national chains are open to serve people who don't want to cook or who are traveling, but hours may be limited by location.
ACROSS AMERICA — Many restaurants will be closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but some will remain open to serve those who don’t celebrate the holiday or who would rather focus on their family and friends rather than cooking an elaborate, multi-course meal.
We’ve curated a list of eateries — ranging from formal sit-downrestaurants to coffee shops and fast food businesses — that are open Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, unless otherwise noted.
Make sure you call ahead for a reservation and to confirm hours where you live. Some restaurants may offer limited hours, and not all locations of chains are open for the holidays.
