Of course, McDonald’s was open on New Year’s Eve, because nothing says “let’s ring in the new year” quite like a drive-thru run for nuggets after midnight (although some locations may have called it a bit early…).
That’s all well and good, but what about New Year’s Day itself? Will the golden arches stand tall, like a beacon from above, ready to revive your spirit after a night of drunken debauchery?
Good news: McDonald’s will be open on New Year’s Day! Whether you’re kicking off the year with a hash brown-stuffed Sausage Egg McMuffin (seriously, try it with ketchup—it’s life-changing) or recovering from the night before with a couple of McDoubles and a large fry, most locations will be running on regular hours.
A Handy Way to Ensure Your Local McDonald’s is Open on New Year’s Day
