Christmas dining out is becoming an increasingly popular option for many in Albuquerque. As various businesses close for the holiday, finding open restaurants can be a challenge.
This Christmas, grocery stores like Albertsons, Smith’s, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Costco, Walmart, and Dollar Tree are all closed today, leaving little opportunity for last-minute ingredient hunting. However, El Super, located on Central, operates from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Additionally, some CVS and Walgreens locations may be open with reduced hours, providing some alternative options for those in need of extra supplies.
For those opting out of cooking and wanting to enjoy a meal out, Albuquerque and Santa Fe boast numerous restaurants that remain open on Christmas Day. The head of the local foodies group emphasizes that Albuquerque is a vibrant food town with many fantastic dining options that compete with the well-known restaurant scene in Santa Fe. This showcases the city’s diverse culinary culture and ensures that dining out enriches the festive atmosphere.
To facilitate your holiday dining plans, a complete list of restaurants open in Albuquerque and Santa Fe can be found on the website’s “As Seen On Seven” section. As many people are choosing to dine out this Christmas, making reservations is highly recommended for those who haven’t done so yet, to ensure a spot at their preferred location.
This trend highlights a positive shift towards embracing community and culinary experiences during the holiday season, reminding us that dining out can be a delightful way to celebrate with friends and family.
