I haven't been there in a while, but it's been open every December 25th I driven by in the evening.
Most hotels also have restaurants open as well. I usually went to the Sheraton in Eau Claire since I worked there at one time.

There has been a recent tradition in Regina, indirectly inspired by me, to have night clubs open on Christmas night.
It is now their busiest day of the year. And really, it makes a lot of sense. Young people don't always hang out with their families and party at home. My family is a perfect example because we eat at 2pm, no one in my family drinks and they all like to go to bed at 9pm. Get together with all my cousins and head to the club for the evening.
I wish something like that would catch on here. It is such a blast to go out on a boring christmas night. In fact maybe it already has and I just don't know about it.
