McDonald’s UK, with over 1,400 outlets nationwide, typically closes on Christmas Day to give staff a well-deserved break. However, in 2024, select McDonald’s locations will remain open to serve festive fast food to hungry customers.
Since approximately 80% of McDonald’s UK restaurants operate as franchises, each branch can set its own Christmas opening hours. This means some local McDonald’s restaurants may be open on Christmas Day, ready to flip burgers and serve customers throughout the holiday.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information on which McDonald’s outlets are open, customers should consult the official McDonald’s restaurant locator online.
