Working days until Christmas Day 2026
Christmas Day 2026 falls on a Friday. The countdown at the top of this page counts the business days between today and that date: every Monday–Friday that is not a public holiday in the country you select. The calendar-day count and the number of weekend days are shown alongside so you can see how the total breaks down.
By default today is left out and Christmas 2026 itself is counted if it is a working day. If you need the number of days after today up to but not including Christmas 2026, untick "Count the target day"; if you want to include today, tick "Count today".
Public holidays before Christmas 2026
These national holidays fall in 2026 on or before Christmas Day 2026 and are excluded when the matching country is selected. Holidays already in the past are ignored automatically.
