Don't know about Madrid but we were in Seville on Christmas day and absolutely nothing was open. A couple associate with hotels were open and packed with tourist. On the advice of our prior day tour guide we laid in a supply of cheese, bread, wine, meats, desserts, etc., and used our hotel's roof top garden for our Christmas day meals. I would not count on anything being open or running.

Are you religious? Attend a Christmas day service at one of the churches or at Almudena Cathedral? It could be a moving experience. Then, check out some of the beautiful parks.

I think Retiro Park would be nice on Christmas Day.
And the big hotels should have their restaurants and bars open -- you will need reservations.
Also, I believe San Gines Chocolateria is open every day of the year for yummy hot chocolate and churros:
