Ultimate Guide to Restaurants and Stores Open on Christmas Day 2019

Perhaps your Christmas dinner is a bit earlier or later than December 25 this year. Or maybe you celebrate another winter holiday, such as the eight days of Hanukkah. Or you could just be craving a delicious dinner after seeing that just-released blockbuster movie. (We’re partial to cozying up to a Hallmark holiday movie at home, though!). Whatever the reason you’re planning to be out and about, we’ve rounded up a guide to restaurants and stores open on Christmas day 2019. While most department stores, malls, and fast-food chains close up shop for the day, some convenience stores and supermarkets will still have their lights on. A handful of buffets, diners, and sit-down restaurants plan to be open on Christmas day as well.
