Christmas Day 2027 is still ahead. It falls on Saturday, 25 December 2027, 484 days after 28 August 2026. This page is kept whichever side of today the date falls on: the date and the rule behind it are worth looking up either way. For the year after this one see Christmas Day 2028, and for the always-current countdown see the next Christmas Day.
Christmas Day 2027 is Saturday, 25 December 2027
There are 484 days between 28 August 2026 and Christmas Day 2027, which falls on Saturday, 25 December 2027. That is 69 weeks and 1 day, or 329 working days once Saturdays, Sundays and the US federal holidays in between are taken out — the figure that matters if you are counting delivery lead time or a work schedule rather than sleeps. The date is 2027-12-25 in ISO form and 12/25/2027 in the US format, it falls in ISO week 51 of 2027, and it is day 359 of 365.
How the date of Christmas Day is decided
Christmas Day is always 25 December. When it falls on a Saturday the federal holiday is observed on Friday 24 December; when it falls on a Sunday, on Monday 26 December.
That makes it a fixed date: the same day of the same month every year, so it lands on a different weekday each time. In 2027 it is a Saturday.
Christmas Day is one of the eleven US federal holidays. Federal offices, banks and the bond market close, and it does not count as a business day in any of the business-day calculators on this site. In 2027 it falls on a Saturday, so the federal observance moves to Friday, 24 December 2027 — that is the day offices actually close. The observed date is the one our business days calculator skips.

The date does not move, but the weekday does — which is why the same holiday gives a long weekend in some years and not others.
Every convention used above — whether the start date counts, how month ends are clamped, which holidays close an office — is written out on the methodology page, including how we count the 329 working days above.
