McDonald’s UK: The Christmas Day Exception!
McDonald’s UK, boasting over 1,400 outlets, usually shuts up shop on Christmas Day to give staff a well-deserved break. But this year, some lucky locations are staying open to serve festive fast food to hungry revellers.
Since around 80% of McDonald’s UK restaurants are franchises, each branch can decide its own Christmas hours. So, don’t assume your local McDonald’s is closed – some could be flipping burgers all day!
For the latest on who’s open, check out the official McDonald’s restaurant locator.
