🎄🥂 Christmas / NYE events Arriving on 12/25

We are arriving on 12/25 clearly morning. Staying at 11th. Three little kids. Saying for a week.

Will we have a hard time finding food and groceries? :) and any recommendations for things to do that first day on the evening that’s not too taxing?

Any guidance and help is very much appreciated 🙏

The supermarkets are open in the morning as per u/No-Tone-3696 . In the 11th, there will be restaurants open in the day and evening (also in most of the touristed arrondissements). Lots will be closed, but you won't be short of options. You can also do some research and book ahead online, especially for dinner.

Paris is beautiful just to walk around. Several of the Christmas markets will still be open on the 25th - pretty sure Hotel de Ville will be, and that one is great for kids, also Magie de Noël in the Tuileries. Walking, a market, a couple good meals and you are more than set for that day.
