Thanksgiving is a time for feasting, but let's be honest: not everyone wants to put on an apron and devote 3 to 5 hours to preparing a turkey. If McDonald's is calling your name louder than the oven this holiday, you're not alone. So, the question is: Are they open on Thanksgiving? depending on the franchise owner.

I checked with three restaurants here in Orlando, Florida, and they all confirmed they'll be open. It's always best to call your local spot to be sure — nothing ruins the grateful vibe faster than rolling up to a closed drive-thru, right? While fast food might not scream "holiday tradition," there's absolutely no shame in swapping cranberry sauce for sweet and sour sauce. After all, who says you can't make McNuggets a Thanksgiving tradition? In 2023, that dining at McDonald's on Thanksgiving is becoming a trend due to the high costs associated with a typical Thanksgiving meal (just look at — yikes!) and the rising expenses of living in general.



Instead of spending a fortune on turkey, stuffing, and all the sides, some folks are opting for the convenience of a drive-thru meal. Others are adding McDonald's to their Thanksgiving lineup by treating it as a tasty breakfast before the big feast. Now, let's explore some menu picks for your Thanksgiving McFeast.

What to order for your Thanksgiving McFeast While McDonald's isn't offering anything special like McStuffing or Turkey McNuggets (though we'd totally try them) for Thanksgiving just yet, they do have some great.
