Any chance of a list of who’s open Christmas Day.. Thanks..
I don’t have a complete list. Your best bet are hotels and inns. The Haraseeket does a Christmas Grand Buffet: http://www.harraseeketinn.com/maine-inn/easter-grand-buffet
and the Regency is planning a special Christmas menu http://media.theregency.com/d/theregency/media/PDF/Christmas_2014.pdf
Tom Minervino put together a map for me of eight establishments throughout Maine that are open on Christmas day; it’s by no means a comprehensive list, but it’s a start.

Who is open on xmas eve?
Ebb & Flow is serving its regular menu plus lots of specials until 11pm, and the bar will be open late. We’re also giving out free bubbles to everyone to ring in 2015!
DJ Masart will be playing at CP as well!
Speckled Ax will be open 10-4 on Christmas Day.
Zod, if you’re looking for something special, 555 is serving a 7-course traditional Christmas Eve dinner, the Feast of the Seven Fishes. There are probably many restaurants open on the 24th serving their regular menu as well.
I love that Speckled Ax is always open on Xmas day. It’s the perfect pit-stop to fuel up before dealing with my in-laws
Still haven’t figured out your New Year’s Eve plans? Come to Central Provisions!!
