Red Lobster Announces It Will Remain Open During the Holidays
Red Lobster has announced plans to remain open on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day. This initiative will offer diners an opportunity to enjoy seafood favorites during the holiday season — from lobster and crab to the very popular freshly baked Cheddar Bay Biscuits®. Alongside classic dishes like the Ultimate Feast®, the restaurant is introducing six new menu items and festive drinks, including the returning Snowglobe Sangria, Ruby Mule, and Mocha Espresso Martini. Additionally, Red Lobster is debuting group dining menus starting at $35 per person. These are tailored for parties of 12 or more.
The initiative reflects Red Lobster’s commitment to creating a welcoming space for holiday gatherings. The introduction of chef-curated group menus provides added convenience for larger celebrations.
