When is Christmas?
Christmas Day is always on December 25. Christmas Eve is December 24.
Use the countdown to plan gift shopping, shipping cut-offs and travel. Many carriers set their last guaranteed Christmas delivery dates in the third week of December, so the weekday count above is the number that matters for online orders.
