Golden Corral's holiday announcements in November 2024 (https://www.franchising.com/news/20241126_holiday_feast_without_the_hassle_golden_corral_brings_back_holiday_buffet_h.html) and November 2025 (published by FSR Magazine and linked from Golden Corral's press room, https://www.goldencorral.com/press-room/) both said all restaurants would be open 11 AM to 4 PM on Thanksgiving, with extended hours in select markets, and that Christmas Eve and Christmas Day hours vary by location. Fox Business reported the same 11 AM to 4 PM Thanksgiving hours in 2023 (https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/need-fast-food-restaurants-open-thanksgiving-day-2023). Easter 2024 comes from CBS News (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/open-closed-easter-sunday-2024/). The July 4, 2026 entry rests on Golden Corral's press-room summary of its July 2, 2026 release, which says the deal kicked off July 4. Call your restaurant to confirm holiday hours.
