How many days are between Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve?

Q: How many days are between Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve?

7 days. Christmas Eve falls on Thursday, December 24, 2026 and New Year's Eve on Thursday, December 31, 2026, which is 7 days later — 1 week, or 5 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. Both dates are fixed, so the gap is the same every year apart from leap-year shifts in the weekdays.
