Everything You Need To Know About Chick-Fil-A's Holiday Hours

As you are checking your list, and checking it twice, this year, you may also want to triple check Chick-fil-A's holiday hours before you make any plans to enjoy the fast food chain's beloved chicken sandwiches. Why? Because there's a slight difference and we don't want it tripping up your taste buds. In fact, you might think dear old Ebenezer Scrooge had his hand in it or that the Grinch is up to no good, but before these two holiday villains suffer any additional defamation of character, we want to be clear that they did not. 

But, you can blame the calendar if are looking for something to hate on. Turns out, 2020 has struck again. Christmas is on a Friday this year and per Chick-fil-A's The Chickenwire, everyone's favorite quick-service restaurant will be taking a long winter's nap, giving their employees the day off to spend with their families and friends. Now, we are happy Chick-fil-A is giving them the day off and closing on Christmas. They absolutely deserve it, but at the same time, our stomachs are saying, "Bah humbug! We want mor chikin." Luckily, Chick-fil-A anticipated this.

First, it is important to point out that Chick-fil-A recommends checking your local franchise's hours because they can differ, but they also were wise to foresee our cravings. You can order a reheatable tray of chicken from their catering menu, pick it up on Christmas Eve, and feast on it for Christmas dinner — a holiday miracle if you ask us. 

Chick-fil-A notes that they will be open on December 26 so you can order some shakes, waffle fries, and sandwiches to enjoy as you shop after Christmas, while perusing online sales, or watching holiday college bowl games. But again, for planning purposes, you might want to take note that the next day is a Sunday, which means Chick-fil-A is closed (via Business Insider). When will 2020 end?  We're glad you asked. Turns out, 2021 has the makings to be a much more hopeful year. Chick-fil-A will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at most locations on New Year's Eve, as you are counting down the seconds before you get to put 2020 to bed. They will also be open on New Year's Day from 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at most spots. Again, check your franchise's hours before you get in your car, and of course, eat mor chikin responsibly.
