Halloween is over, Thanksgiving is coming, and Mariah Carey is currently thawing out so she can sing “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”

Christmas is just over a month away. Are you in spirit? Here’s when Christmas takes place and how to count down until then.

When is Christmas 2024?

Christmas Day 2024 is on Wednesday, December 25. Christmas falls on the same date in December every year, although the day of the week it is celebrated changes from year to year.

How many days until Christmas?

Christmas Day is Wednesday, December 25, and from Monday, November 19, there are exactly 35 days until Christmas – or just five shopping weekends, including the upcoming Black Friday-Cyber ​​Monday blitz.

This is how you count down the days until Christmas 2024

Now that you know how many days there are between now and Christmas, you might want to count down the days.

Then there are several online options to help you count down the days.

Internet-based calendar and date tracker Time and Date has an online Christmas countdown tracker, showing the hours, minutes and seconds until Christmas.

XMasClock.com’s Countdown to Christmas has a red Christmas theme, while Your Christmas Countdown has a large print countdown with a fun Christmas background.

Days.To’s Christmas countdown features a Christmas-themed background that changes every few seconds.

One image shows Santa driving a sleigh full of toys, while another depicts red ribbons on a Christmas tree.

Is Christmas always on the same day?

Although Christmas always falls on December 25, the day itself changes due to the Gregorian calendar, which takes leap years into account.

For example, Christmas Day 2025 falls on a Thursday, Christmas Day 2026 falls on a Friday, and Christmas Day 2027 falls on a Saturday.

The leap year in 2028 adds an extra day to the year and pushes Christmas to Monday that year.
