## Story

Several fast food chains will remain open on Christmas Day, according to a Good Housekeeping report.

Boston Market, Denny’s, McDonald’s and Starbucks are just four of the chains that plan to remain open on Christmas Day, according to the article.

This year, Christmas Day will fall on a Tuesday. The article noted that customers would do best to call their local restaurant ahead of time to verify the exact hours of operation that day.

“Gingerbread lattes were made for Christmas morning,” the article stated about Starbucks. “Starbucks agrees, which is why most of their locations will stay open on the 25th.”

Not everyone will remain open or even just offer shortened hours on Christmas Day. Chick-fil-A, as might be expected, already announced back in November that they’d be closed on Christmas Day.
