Christmas Day is most often spent indoors, surrounded by family and homemade foods. Most retailers and restaurants close down, making it nearly impossible to find anything that isn’t fast food during one of the most desolate traffic days of the year.
Luckily, a select few restaurants in the Santa Clarita Valley will be open to feed those who want to keep their kitchens clean, or to those who want to skip Christmas all together.
Here’s five that we know of.
1. Grand Panda
The Grand Panda Chinese food restaurant will be open on Christmas Day from 11:30 am to 9:30 pm making it a great option for any time of the day.

Newhall, CA 91321
2. Buca Di Bepo
This popular Italian destination welcomes all who are in the mood for lots of food with little prep. Conveniently located across from the Valencia movie theater to induce a food coma before a long movie, or after to discuss the Christmas blockbusters over dinner.
