McDonald's has confirmed which of its UK locations will remain open on Christmas Day 2025, with 39 branches serving customers throughout the day. The fast-food chain will keep select restaurants open for those who wish to dine in or use the drive-through, while the majority of its sites will be closed for the holiday.
Christmas Day looks different for everyone, and a trip to McDonald's may be part of the plan for some. Whether it's a quick breakfast for those working, a meal for non-celebrants, or a stop for families travelling to see loved ones, the open branches aim to cater to various needs.
The list of open locations includes sites across England, Scotland, and Wales. Customers are advised to check local opening hours before travelling, as times may vary. The full list of 39 branches is available on the McDonald's website and via the Liverpool Echo.
This announcement comes as many retailers and restaurants close for the holiday, but McDonald's continues to provide service for those who need it. The chain has not specified which menu items will be available, but standard offerings are expected.
