Which fast food chains are closed on Christmas? (2022)

Which fast food restaurants open and close on Christmas?

Presents have been unwrapped, fires are roaring, all the snow has been cleared from the driveway, and you’re all snuggling up inside to stay warm… It’s a perfect day. Facts aside, no one remembers taking a turkey out of the freezer and you don’t have to wait 12 hours for it to thaw, so you can have your Christmas dinner ready in time.

So it’s not perfect.

If this is you, or you’re in a similar situation where you’ve found yourself needing a quick solution for Christmas dinner, we might be able to help. Although it is commonly accepted that it is closed on Christmas Day, that is not entirely true.

Some restaurants don’t celebrate holidays so some places are open. But if you’re not looking forward to shrimp fried rice or falafel, there might be something a little more familiar to you.
