We (me, my wife and our 4-years-old daughter) are now in Munich and are now thinking what to do tomorrow (Dec 24) evening. We don't (or at least were not going to) celebrate Christmas, but apparently almost everything will be closed, including Christmas fairs, stores, restaurants, museums, etc. Is this true, and if yes, then what can you suggest?

Most restaurants and attractions will close on Christmas Eve at 16:00 or earlier. Even the Christmas Market at the airport will close at 17:00. Many will reopen on the 25th (e.g. Circus Krone, Therme Erding, Sea Life, Hellabrunn zoo).
Stores will usually close in the early afternoon, only some large ones (e.g. supermarkets, electronics) will be open until around 16:00. Stores will stay closed on the 25th and 26th. Shops at the airport, at central station, and many gas stations will also close in the afternoon, but reopen on the 25th.
Restaurants
Some restaurants (and some clubs) will be open on Christmas Eve (in German, try DeepL for translations).
Sightseeing by Tram
Use Tram 19 or 21 from Max-Weber-Platz to Karlsplatz/Stachus, and Tram 17 back to Max-Weber-Platz.
