Restaurants Open For Christmas 2022 Around Greater Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE, WI — Not everyone in Wisconsin wants to spend hours preparing a Christmas feast, some families are on the road and others with holiday vacations coming up are looking for restaurants open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Most restaurants are closed on Christmas Day, but plenty also stay open for business 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.

If you're looking for something local, check out this list of restaurants open for Christmas 2022 from The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Selections include The Packing House in Milwaukee, Clifford's Supper Club in Hales Corners, Lagniappe Brasserie in New Berlin and many more.

Other restaurants, ranging from fast-food to fine dining and coffee shops, are also open Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in the Milwaukee area. Some restaurants prepare multicourse meals for pickup; others have dine-in options; and others offer food and coffee on the go.

Make sure you call ahead for a reservation and to confirm hours at locations in southeast Wisconsin. Some restaurants may offer limited hours.
