Correct about hotels. We had a lunch at Cafe Marley several years ago (great view of the Louvre Pyramid if you sit outside, which we did). We had dinner Christmas night at Marco Polo a few years ago and at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon on our last visit.
I also believe that the Christian Constant restaurants are open and I think only Violin d'Ingres requires a reservation. Check with them to be sure.

Paris by Mouth will post a list of open restaurants for Christmas Eve, Christmas and NYE closer to time. The link from 2015 is below:

You can also find open restaurants in the areas of Paris that are inhabited with non-Christian residents.
By mid-day there are lots of places open throughout the 5th & 6th where lots of tourists stay in Paris (and I am one of them

Le Train Bleu at the Gare de Lyon is open 365 days a year, and its Belle Epoque decor is gorgeous. Food is good. www.le-train-bleu.com

If you're looking for something fancy, most restaurants do not post their menus or accept reservations until 60 or 30 days in advance.
Drouant is a good choice and is open during the Christmas holidays.
Remember that when choosing a reservation time, the best would be between 12:00 to 1:30 for Lunch and between 7:30 to 9:00 for Dinner.
This way, you'll have ample time to enjoy yourself and the kitchen won't have run out of anything.
