How many days are between Christmas Eve and Easter?

Q: How many days are between Christmas Eve and Easter?

94 days. Christmas Eve falls on Thursday, December 24, 2026 and Easter on Sunday, March 28, 2027, which is 94 days later — 13 weeks and 3 days, or 66 business days counting Monday to Friday only. The first day is not counted and the last one is, the same way a calendar counts a stay. One of these two moves around the calendar, so the gap is not the same every year — the table below gives the next five.

Dates are local calendar dates; times and time zones are ignored.
Business days are Monday–Friday with no holiday exclusions.
Adding months keeps the day of month, clamped to the target month's length.
