These 8 Restaurants and Fast Food Spots Open on Christmas Eve and Day
Some of the biggest chains in the country will be open for at least a while on Christmas Eve and Christmas.
McDonald's
Some McDonald's locations will be open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in 2023, but not all of them. The company operates franchises, which means it is up to the individual owners to decide whether to open up or not. Check your location specifically if possible.
prevnextStarbucks
Starbucks will also be open on Christmas Eve and Christmas, though again some locations may vary. While other restaurants may see reduced business as customers sit down for a big family meal, there is no replacing the daily caffeine fix. You can use the store locator on Starbucks' website to check the hours of your local cafe.

In general, IHOP restaurants will be open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in 2023, but of course, check your local restaurant with the store locator tool here. It's worth noting that the company says most 24/7 restaurants will operate on reduced hours for the holiday, so plan accordingly.
