Restaurants Open On Christmas 2020 In Charlotte
CHARLOTTE, NC — The coronavirus crisis is prompting many Americans to skip large, family-filled holiday celebrations this year. As some choose to alter their Christmas traditions, others might be opting to let someone else take care of the festivities entirely.
Among these is cooking, and if that’s the route you’re going this Christmas, we certainly wouldn’t blame you. Luckily, there are several local and chain restaurants in Charlotte planning to be open on Christmas Day.
In case you need a recommendation of where to eat out on Christmas, Patch compiled a roundup of restaurants slated to be open that day.
An important note: As the number of daily coronavirus cases continues to surge, states each day are imposing new restrictions on businesses. Business hours can also vary by location. Patch encourages you to call any restaurant on this list in advance to double-check hours on Christmas Day.
