The holidays are for spending quality time with loved ones and enjoying home-cooked meals, but sometimes there's a need for — and nothing like — some reliable, fast-food grub. Whether you're sneaking out for a quick bite mid-holiday obligations or craving a midnight snack, here are fast-food restaurants saying they will be open (and closed) on Christmas Day.
Note: This list is not exhaustive, and many chains are independently operated; hours may vary or be open for takeout only.We advise calling local restaurants to confirm before going.
