Is McDonald’s open on Christmas Eve 2019?

McDonald’s is a great place to go when you need a snack on the go while also being a great place for coffee. Will it be open on Christmas Eve 2019?

For millions of people all over the country, McDonald’s is the place you go when hunger strikes. When that hunger hits on Christmas Eve, you will find that most McDonald’s locations are open for business.

Holiday hours vary widely with McDonald’s because each restaurant is franchised, which means hours are different at each location. With Christmas Eve, you will likely see normal operating hours for the first part of the day, with some locations closing early to allow employees a chance to be with family and friends in the evening. Other locations, especially those that are in high traffic areas near theme parks and airports, will likely remain at normal business hours.

You probably won’t see a change in hours for McDonald’s locations inside airports, train stations or other transit centers because of the large number of people who travel for the holiday, but you will see shortened hours for restaurants inside malls and inside other stores (like Walmart).

Ever since McDonald’s went all-in on their coffee and drink selections, McDonald’s has become a destination for coffee lovers and so you’ll be able to grab a cup of coffee in the morning before driving to Grandma’s house or hitting the mall for last-minute gifts. McDonald’s is also a very popular place for seniors to gather, and it is also a very common spot for people who don’t have places to spend the holidays, so it’s nice that restaurants are open on Christmas Eve to give everyone somewhere to go.

As always, the best thing to do is to call ahead to confirm that your local McDonald’s will be open on Christmas Eve, especially later on in the day.
