Christmas is the annual Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25, observed by 2.4 billion Christians worldwide and celebrated as a cultural holiday in 160+ countries. Beyond its religious roots, Christmas has become a global cultural phenomenon marked by gift-giving, family gatherings, Christmas markets, festive meals, and end-of-year reflection. The Advent season begins four Sundays before Christmas Day, leading up to Christmas Eve (December 24) and Christmas Day (December 25), with Boxing Day (December 26) marking the start of post-Christmas sales in many Commonwealth countries.
