PHOENIX — We get it: Holiday dinners can be a hassle.

Having to gather the endless amount of cooking and baking supplies, creating intricate and delicious dishes that are big enough for a small army and then having to clean up the entire mess yourself?! No, thank you.

And for many Arizonans who do not celebrate the holiday, there are very few dining options on Dec. 25, outside of the classic Chinese-food-in-a-take-out-carton.

No worries, we saved you the time and hassle of finding the top spots in the Phoenix-area that are also open on Christmas Day. Let us know in the comments what your favorite holiday dining spot is!
