Christmas Eve is the evening and day before Christmas Day, 24 December.
The countdown at the top of this page is computed in your browser against your own clock, so it is accurate to the second and always targets the next Christmas Eve — once December 24, 2026 passes it rolls straight on to December 24, 2027. The table below is a fixed reference: Christmas Eve is December 24 every year, and because the date is fixed, only the day of the week changes from year to year.
Need the gap between two arbitrary dates instead — a birthday, a deadline, a lease end? The date difference calculator gives the exact years, months and days between any two dates, in either direction.

How many weeks until Christmas Eve?
Divide the countdown above by seven: the days-remaining figure updates in your browser against today's date, so the weeks figure beside it is always current. The countdown targets the next Christmas Eve — December 24, 2026 — and rolls over to the following year the moment it passes.
How many working days until Christmas Eve?
The countdown shows it alongside the calendar-day figure: working days are Monday to Friday only, so a span of 14 calendar days is usually 10 working days depending on where the weekends fall. Public holidays are not excluded — including Christmas Eve itself, and any others that fall in between.
What day of the week is Christmas Eve in 2027?
