Despite it being Christmas Day, there will be some places open for business as usual – including a handful of McDonald’s
For some, the idea of a big turkey dinner on Christmas Day just isn’t appealing. Instead, there will be a few who’d be just as happy with a Big Mac and fries.
Most UK McDonald’s chains will be closed on Christmas Day to give staff a chance to unwind and enjoy the day with their families. However, not every Golden Arches will be switching off the grills on December 25.
There are a handful of fast food restaurants that will be open for business on Christmas Day, including 28 McDonald’s. Most are open just for a limited time but some are sticking to business as usual, staying open through the night and into Boxing Day morning.
All McDoanald’s stores are back to normal business from Boxing Day. But, if you can’t go without a takeaway fix for the day, there are some limited options out there.
We’ve put together a short list of every chain across the UK that’s open and their hours. You can find your local McDonald’s festive hours online here using the McDonald’s restaurant locator.

The limited edition festive menu – featuring the Big Tasty, Cheese McCrispy, Camembert Cheese Melt Dippers, as well as Terry’s Chocolate Orange McFlurries and Pies – will come to an end on January 5, 2025, But, fans can expect some incredible new things arriving in the New Year.
From Monday, January 6, McDonald’s is kickstarting a new promotional menu featuring The Chicken Katsu One, which will cost £1.99 when purchased on a Wednesday. The wrap includes your choice of crispy or grilled chicken, coated in flavourful katsu sauce, packed with crispy onions, crunchy cucumber, and fresh lettuce – all wrapped in a warm, toasted tortilla.
Another new arrival is the BBQ Ranch Stack, featuring two beef patties topped with Emmental cheese, lettuce, bacon, and crispy onions. Of course, there will be tangy, garlicky ranch and sweet BBQ sauce, all in a glazed sesame seed bun.
There will be some returning favourites as well, including the McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse – which pairs chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating with a smoky BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, red onion, and lettuce, all in a delicious sourdough-style sesame-topped bun. Fans of the iconic Mozzarella Dippers – coated in breadcrumbs and served with Salsa dip – will be glad to know the golden side sticks are here to stay until March 25.
They’ll be available as a 3-piece side or 9-piece share box. On the dessert menu, the all-new Milky Way McFlurry blends soft dairy ice cream swirled with milk chocolate stars and malt-flavoured pieces topped with a chocolate sauce.
