Are you looking for a place to have breakfast on Christmas morning? Are you craving pancakes from IHOP? Here’s what you need to know about their holiday hours.

If there is one thing many of us can agree on, it is that the holidays are about more than just presents. They are also about delicious food. And one place that usually delivers on that deliciousness is IHOP, where breakfast is an all day experience.

Considering how much we love breakfast on Christmas, you might be wondering if you have to cook up a morning spread or if you can head out and have someone else do the cooking. And if IHOP is your go-to breakfast stop, then you may be wondering about their hours on Christmas Day.

While there are no guarantees, as most of the restaurants are franchise locations and are able to set their own hours, many locations will be open on Christmas.

Typically the IHOP restaurant shares the news themselves, pointing out that customers love including their fresh stacks of pancakes into their holidays. However, it seems that Country Living was able to get the answer to us all the way back in September.

Many of the restaurants will in fact be open on Christmas Day, with some sticking to their usual 24 hours of delivering delicious meals from breakfast to dinner. Other locations will have reduced hours, meaning you will want to call before heading over to make sure they are still open when you get that craving for pancakes and omelettes.

The best way to confirm if your local IHOP is open is to give them a call to check their hours for Christmas. And even if your local restaurant is closed, you could still get lucky at some of the other breakfast loving chains like Starbucks and Dunkin’.
