# How many days until Christmas?

**52 days left until Christmas.**

Date: Thursday, 24 December 2026

That is 7 weeks and 3 days, including 37 working days (Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays in Poland).

Counted to Christmas Eve, 24 December, the day Poland celebrates. Christmas Day is the day after.

## Christmas 2026 in the calendar

- Christmas Eve, 24 December, is a Thursday. Since 2025 it is a public holiday in Poland and most shops are closed.
- Christmas Day and the second day of Christmas (26 December): Friday and Saturday.
- Shops may open on the three Sundays before Christmas Eve: 6, 13 and 20 December.
- 26 December is a Saturday, so employers must give employees another day off for it.
- From Christmas Eve to Sunday 3 January 2027 there are 11 days, 4 of them working days. That much leave covers the whole Christmas and New Year break.
