‘Tis the season of indulgence, but after all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, the last thing you want to do is spend Christmas Day slaving away in the kitchen. Fear not, because a Christmas miracle is on the horizon. Believe it or not, there are actually quite a few restaurants open on Christmas, ready to serve up a festive feast so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the holiday.

We’ve spent most of December dashing around like headless chickens, so it’s only fair that we give ourselves a break on the big day. Whether you’re not-so-suddenly overwhelmed by a sudden desire to feast on something other than turkey, or you’ve just realized you’d rather leave all the cooking and cleaning to someone else, these restaurants have got your back. However, keep in mind that some places may only be offering takeout or have varying opening hours, so it’s best to check in with them before you head out.

If you’re craving something a little different this year, head over to Benihana, Boston Market, or Domino’s for a change of pace. Or, if you’re a fan of casual dining and want to catch a game while you eat, Buffalo Wild Wings has a few locations open for the day. And for all the breakfast lovers out there, don’t worry – Denny’s, IHOP, and Waffle House will be dishing up some morning delights.

Looking to add a touch of luxury to your Christmas celebration? Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Morton’s Steak House, and Fogo de Chao will be serving up gourmet meals fit for a king or queen. And if you want to add a touch of movie magic to your day, Planet Hollywood is also welcoming guests.

For those looking for a more low-key vibe, you can grab a quick bite at McDonald’s, Dunkin’, or Starbucks. And if you’re in the mood for some classic American diner fare, Huddle House is at your service. And last but not least, Hooter’s and Smith & Wollensky are also open, ready to make your Christmas day extra special.

So, forget about spending your entire day in the kitchen or waiting in long lines at the grocery store. This Christmas, take a load off and let someone else do the cooking for you. After a month of holiday chaos, you deserve to sit back, relax, and enjoy a delicious meal without all the stress. From all of us to you, Merry Christmas and bon appétit!
