Bored after opening presents? Movie theaters like AMC and Regal are often open on Christmas night. It’s a perfect escape from your relatives’ political rants. Grab a giant popcorn and watch a blockbuster—it’s a Christmas miracle of entertainment. Hotels with restaurants or convenience shops are also golden, especially the fancy ones. Want a $14 candy bar from the Marriott lobby? Live your truth.
Also, Uber and Lyft are still running, but brace for surge pricing—it’s like a lump of coal for your wallet. If you see a driver out there, thank them; they’re probably using their own car to haul drunk Santas. Heroes, all of them.
