Two well-known restaurants under the Orlando-based Darden Restaurants umbrella — and — will close on Christmas Day to give staff members time to be with their loved ones.

The company's dedication to holiday traditions and work-life balance is reflected in its yearly closure. While LongHorn is known for its affordable steaks and Olive Garden for its affordable Italian-inspired menu, both are also known for placing a high priority on giving employees a well-earned break during the holiday season.

Visitors should be aware that on December 26, regular operations will resume. Both companies usually provide seasonal menu items and gift card promos in the run-up to Christmas for consumers looking for a unique dining experience.
