Eat, drink, and be merry at these restaurants<\/a> that will be open on Christmas Day!<\/em><\/p>\n

Wondering which restaurants are open on Christmas Day<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to celebrate Christmas by taking a day off from the kitchen, or if you just have a craving for your favorite restaurant \u2013\u00a0 you\u2019ll have several options available to you on Christmas Day!<\/p>\n

You may remember a time when virtually everything was closed on Christmas, but these days you can almost always find somewhere nearby to eat on December 25th. Even if you\u2019re planning to prepare a Christmas feast at home, you may want to keep this list handy, just in case<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If Christmas movies have taught us anything, it\u2019s that holiday dinners don\u2019t always go as planned. The Grinch might stop by and empty your fridge, Cousin Eddie\u2019s wife may overcook the turkey, or the Bumpus hounds could run through your kitchen at any moment and steal Christmas dinner right off the table. You never know when you might need a backup plan! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
