McDonald's, KFC, Subway and Greggs have all released details of their opening hours for Christmas Day.
Christmas Day falls on a Sunday this year. If a bank holiday is on a weekend, a ‘substitute’ weekday becomes a bank holiday, normally the following Monday.
However, most retailers will be closed on Christmas Day so employees can celebrate the festive season with their family and friends.
McDonald's Christmas Day opening hours
Only a handful of McDonald's restaurants open on Christmas Day in the UK. A McDonald’s spokesperson said: “As a franchised business, it is at the discretion of each franchisee to decide on when their restaurants operate throughout the year, including over the festive period.
"These decisions will reflect the needs of local communities and crew, and cater for a cross-section of the UK workforce, especially those who may be working on Christmas day.”
You can refer to their restaurant locator to confirm if your local restaurant is open during the Christmas period and what times they are trading.
