Is Olive Garden open on Christmas Day 2022?

Christmas is almost here and while most people may be eating traditional foods or family recipes on the day, plenty of others just want to chill out and head to a restaurant like Olive Garden. With the amount of stress that we all have had to deal with this year, why not have a Christmas where you don’t have to deal with cooking?

Olive Garden may not be the most authentic Italian food to ever exist but that doesn’t mean it isn’t delicious. And who doesn’t love lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo, chicken parmigiana, shrimp scampi, and ravioli? I like the food my family has on Christmas but I would not say no to any of the food at Olive Garden.

And that doesn’t even get into what they offer for dessert. No one would ever say no to Black Tie Mousse Cake, tiramisu, Strawberry Cream Cake, Chocolate Brownie Lasagna (yes, please), Warm Italian Doughnuts, and Sicilian Cheesecake with Strawberry Topping. All of these beat a Christmas cookie any day of the week. Ask Santa. I’m sure he agrees.

The question is: is Olive Garden going to be open on Christmas?

Is Olive Garden closed on Christmas?

Unfortunately, Olive Garden will not be open on Sunday, Dec 25, 2022. They actually close at 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve and don’t reopen until Monday, Dec 26. This means that if you were thinking of heading to Olive Garden for Christmas dinner, you’ll have to come up with different plans.

If you really have a craving for some seafood Alfredo, spaghetti and meatballs, or chicken tortellini, you’ll have to wait until Monday to head to the restaurant. You can always head there for lunch if you’re out shopping for after-Christmas deals.
