Restaurants Open For Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in 2024

Sometimes you just want to enjoy the holidays without the extra time in the kitchen, and especially not having to clean up afterwards. Who wants to spend their time cooking and cleaning while the rest of the family is playing games, watching the big game on tv, or just sharing stories and making memories? Nobody, that’s who!

You are not the only one that shares these feelings and this is why many restaurants keep their doors open for the Holiday season. Here are some of our favorite places to bond, eat, and just enjoy the holiday without the hassle of cooking and cleaning.
