Christmas Eve Countdown

Christmas Eve dates, 2026 to 2031

When is Christmas Eve? Dates through 2035

How the date is set

Christmas Eve is December 24 every year, the day before Christmas Day.

Christmas Eve is the evening and day before Christmas. In many countries it is the main occasion for the family meal and for exchanging gifts.

Good to know

• It is not a US federal holiday, though many workplaces close early.
• It is a public holiday or half-holiday in a number of European countries.

How this countdown counts

The timer runs to midnight at the start of Christmas Eve in your own time zone. "Days until" counts calendar days, so tomorrow is always 1 day away. After the day has passed, the countdown moves on to next year by itself.
