A POPULAR fast food chain has confirmed it will keep a number of its restaurants open on December 25.
Many will be open for dine-in or drive-thru for weary Christmas travellers or those looking for an alternative to traditional fare.
KFC has revealed 90 of its locations will open to the public on Christmas Day.
There are over 1,000 KFC branches in the UK, so it is recommended to check the opening hours for your local branch as the majority will still be closed.
Earlier this month, the fried chicken brand unveiled its festive menu, featuring two variations of their Stuffing Burger.
The Stuffing Tower and Stuffing Stacker both feature their original recipe fried chicken fillets, sage and onion stuffing, cheese and a spicy cranberry sauce.

Alone, the Tower costs £7.49, while the Stacker (which has two chicken fillets rather than one) costs £8.99.
Both can also be made into a box meal, served with a drink, fries, choice of side and another piece of chicken.
KFC said: “Santa may be snoozing on Christmas Day, but some of our team members are still cooking so you can get your chicken fix.
“To avoid disappointment, visit our Find a KFC page to see each restaurants seasonal opening hours.“
These branches will be open for drive-thru and dine-in, though not for deliveries.
It explained : “Our fryers will be turned off on Christmas Day, so KFC Delivery will be unavailable.
“KFC Delivery, Uber Eats & Just Eat will be delivering on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day as usual.”
Many KFC branches will also be open on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day, though again the chain recommends customers check their local branch’s seasonal opening hours.
