Christmas dates, 2026 to 2031
Christmas Day is always 25 December, so only the day of the week changes from year to year.
| Year | Date | Day of the week |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | Friday, December 25 | Friday |
| 2027 | Saturday, December 25 | Saturday |
| 2028 | Monday, December 25 | Monday |
| 2029 | Tuesday, December 25 | Tuesday |

Christmas Eve is 24 December and Boxing Day, a holiday in the UK, Canada, Australia and other countries, is 26 December.
Between 2026 and 2031, Christmas falls on a weekend in 2027, which matters for travel and days off.
