Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 26, 2026 and Christmas on Friday, December 25, 2026, which is 29 days later — 4 weeks and 1 day, or 21 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.
