Restaurants Open On Christmas 2020 In Columbia

COLUMBIA, MD — 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 the area currently planning to be open either Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or both.
