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.

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.
