Mark your restaurant calendars on us this holiday — tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day 2025 follows right behind.
Today’s Xmas Eve Eve, you can expect many fast‑food chains like McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Dunkin’, Starbucks, IHOP, Denny’s, Arby’s, and Waffle House to be open.
Of course, there will be the obvious cut hours and location‑dependent service. So double‑check your apps or ring before.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
If you’re trying to spot a sit‑down location, Applebee’s, Red Lobster, and select steakhouses — including Morton’s, P.F. Chang’s, and Ruth’s Chris — typically operate with modified holiday hours.
As we here at INYIM Media spent two decades — twenty years — working in the restaurant, modeling, retail, and all‑around entertainment industry, starting in our teenage years at 15, well into our entire 20s and first half of our 30s, never stopping or breaking… Blood, sweat, and tears. Never having complained or been a difficult holiday grunt‑worker, especially in rooms and environments where most are crying and causing unnecessary destruction.
We can only best explain and describe what the 1994–2020 career artisan and craftsman life was like. It’s as if you were to put the following show series into ONE: 2016’s drama‑action Animal Kingdom, restaurant‑themed The Bear, Colombian novela‑esque Newly Rich, Newly Poor (Nuevo rico, nuevo pobre), and P‑Valley. All rolled into one lifetime. Now try that on for size. Speaking of supersize…
Other alternatives usually available for Christmas Eve include Panda Express, Romano’s Macaroni Grill, and a handful of fancy upscale frou‑frou — aka bougie — restaurants that remain open for Christmas Day too.
That grocery store finder helped!
