How many days are between Halloween and New Year's Day?

Q: How many days are between Halloween and New Year's Day?

62 days. Halloween falls on Saturday, October 31, 2026 and New Year's Day on Friday, January 1, 2027, which is 62 days later — 8 weeks and 6 days, or 45 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.
