Is McDonald's Open Today?
About 95% of US McDonald's are franchisee-owned, so holiday hours are a local decision. Most locations stay open on every holiday, often with reduced hours. Christmas Day is the big exception: many franchisees close entirely, and Thanksgiving hours vary widely. The app shows live hours for your nearest location.
