T5 on Christmas Day
I now have a flight on Christmas Day from T5.
The better half will want to shop, whilst I will want to kick back in a lounge.
Does anyone know if T5 shops are generally open on Christmas day?

Christmas Day in T5 is just like any normal day really. Although, there is usually a slightly lighter schedule in place particularly on shorthaul.

It is exceptionally quiet around the terminal, but other than that it's pretty much normal.

Highly agre!!
In my opinion, the two times it's essential to crack open a daytime bottle of Champagne are:
- Christmas day
- In an airport on holiday
So this is the perfect storm for kicking back in the Lounge

Your only real issue would be getting to the airport if taking public transport as on Christmas day it's rather quiet on that front!
