Restaurants Open Christmas Day In Alexandria

If you don't want to do the cooking over the holiday, a number of restaurants are staying open on Christmas Day.

ALEXANDRIA, VA—The Christmas holiday season can be exhausting, from weeks of hunting for the perfect gift, to the hours spent wrapping and baking. When the big day arrives — often with an early wake-up call, for those with children — you could be forgiven if the last thing you want to think about after digging yourself out of an avalanche of ripped wrapping paper is preparing a holiday meal.

No worries — Patch can help. Several restaurants in the Alexandria area will do all the cooking for you if you would rather dine out on Christmas Day on Monday, Dec. 25.

Check out our list of restaurants open in Old Town and around Alexandria pulled from OpenTable. Book soon, tables are filling up.
