If you need coffee before opening presents on Christmas morning or something to eat before the holiday dinner, your options will be severely limited this Christmas\u2014and maybe every other Christmas. Most restaurants and fast food outlets close early on Christmas Eve and remain closed on Christmas Day. However, this does not mean that every restaurant will be closed on Sunday; some chains, like McDonalds, will have multiple locations open on Christmas. It’s best to call or check in to confirm store hours to see if your local chains will be open on the holiday.<\/p>

In the meantime, here is all you should know about McDonald’s store hours on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.<\/p>

Is McDonald’s Open on Christmas?<\/span><\/h2>

According to a company representative, most McDonald’s restaurants will be open on Christmas Day this year, but not all. According to the company’s website, 93% of McDonald’s restaurants are operated by independent business owners. That means that each store owner can set their own hours, so your local branch may be open, but it is not guaranteed. The store recommends using their restaurant locator or calling ahead for opening and closing times.<\/p>

(You could also get something from grocery stores open on Christmas<\/a>, especially since many convenience stores will be open as usual!)<\/p>

Is McDonald’s Open on Christmas Eve?<\/span><\/h2>

Many McDonald’s locations will be open on Christmas Eve, just like on Christmas Day, to welcome diners and roadtrippers.<\/p>

However, some businesses may close early to observe the holiday, which falls on Saturday, December 24 this year.<\/p>

So, before you go, check with your local McDonald’s for specific times and hours.<\/p>

What are the New Year’s Eve hours at McDonald’s?<\/span><\/h2>

This year, New Year’s Eve falls on Saturday, December 31.<\/p>

Whether you’re out and about ringing in the New Year, staying in to watch the ball drop, or skipping the celebration entirely (which is perfectly acceptable), many McDonald’s locations will be open for business.<\/p>

The same is true for New Year’s Day (January 1st).<\/p>

It goes without saying that not all locations will be open, and store hours may vary.<\/p>

Check local restaurant hours before you go to avoid disappointment when you arrive for a happy meal (or a decidedly unhappy meal if the doors are closed).<\/p>

Why Are McDonald’s Holiday Hours Different?<\/span><\/h2>

The fact that McDonald’s, like Starbucks, has so many locations contributes to their allure. If you’re travelling for the holidays, keep in mind that just because the McDonald’s in your town is open on Christmas doesn’t mean the one in Grandpa’s town will.<\/p>

According to a McDonald’s customer representative, “Ninety-five per cent of McDonald’s restaurants are independently owned and operated, so the holiday business hours will vary by location.” “The best way to determine hours for your local McDonald’s is to call ahead of your visit to confirm their hours.”<\/p>

So, before you decide to stop for a quarter-pound on your long drive home, make sure the McDonald’s in your area is open when you want to go.<\/p>
