When is Christmas?
Christmas is fixed on December 25 every year, so the only thing that changes is the weekday it lands on and how far away it is right now. Because the date never moves, a countdown is really about the calendar: how many full days, weeks, and weekends stand between today and Christmas morning.
Christmas falls on a different day of the week each year, shifting forward by one day annually and by two after a leap year. That is why people check not just "how many days until Christmas" but also "what day is Christmas this year" — both answers are below, along with the date for the next decade.
