As we ring in 2025, it's only appropriate to treat yourself to some McNuggets, a McFlurry, or a Big Mac (or all three) to get you up and ready for the new year ahead. After all, nothing soaks up that next day hangover quite like some fast food. So you may be wondering, "Hey, wait, is McDonald's even open on New Year's Day?" Well, friends, most locations will indeed be open on New Year's Day.

While hours vary by location, most McDonald's are open on holidays, according to McDonald's USA. What you can do to find out about your closest Mickey D's is use the handy store locator to check hours or give them a call.

Also, don't forget that you can sometimes score exclusive deals through the McDonald's app. Be sure to sign up for a Rewards account before the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve.
