Unlike other restaurant and store chains that may be closed for Christmas 2016, most McDonalds locations will be open for Christmas Eve and during the holidays. In fact, the only time you can’t go in and get a Big Mac or their famous fries is generally on Easter Sunday and Christmas Day— all other days are free game!
Although McDonalds is open throughout the holiday season, it’s important to keep in mind that some locations may be running on reduced hours. Be sure to check with your local franchise.
Below you will find out what McDonalds’ openings hours are during the holidays along with special holiday offers you can take advantage of to get the biggest bang for your buck.
McDonalds Opening Hours
To be certain that a McDonalds near you is open on Christmas Eve, your best bet is to check on the McDonalds website or give them a call. Although a majority of locations will be open, as mentioned, they tend to have varying hours. Generally, it has been recognized that the bulk of the fast food chain locations will stay open until 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve, but it’s better to be safe and simply call ahead.

McDonalds Holiday Offers
Like many other fast food chains and coffee shops, McDonalds has created limited edition, speciality holiday beverages, which include McCafe Peppermint Mocha and McCafe Peppermint Hot Chocolate.
