Between Christmas parties, gift-giving, and other annual Christmas customs, cooking on the holiday can feel like an unpleasant burden. We’re not passing judgment\u2014we get it! You might not even be fully recovered from all of your Thanksgiving preparations<\/a>! So, instead of putting on your apron, it will be less stressful to opt for restaurants open on Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, you will still be able to enjoy a Christmas meal together while avoiding the stress of preparing and cooking. It’s a win-win situation! And the greatest part? Most of these eateries provide heat-and-serve or takeout, which means you can pick up the food and enjoy it together at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having said that, if you need some last-minute snacks to finish your feast, many grocery outlets are open on Christmas <\/a>this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Just remember to phone ahead to ensure that your local store is open during the hours we've specified.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
