SUMMARY:Is the Stock Market Open on Christmas Day 2026? Euronext Hours
DESCRIPTION:Euronext (Paris\, Amsterdam\, Brussels\, Lisbon) are closed on Friday\, December 25\, 2026 for Christmas Day. \n\nNext holiday\nNew Year's Eve (Half Trading Day)\, December 31\, 2026\nRegular hours\n9:00 am to 5:30 pm CET/CEST\n\nFull schedule and background: Euronext Holidays. \nUpdated September 2\, 2026 \n\n← Previous Euronext Holidays\nEuronext\, the pan-European exchange operating markets in Paris\, Amsterdam\, Brussels and Lisbon\, is closed all day on Friday\, December 25\, 2026 for Christmas Day. No cash equity\, ETF or derivatives trading takes place on any Euronext venue. Orders entered that day will queue and be handled when the market reopens for the next trading session. See the full Euronext holiday calendar for the rest of the year. \nWhich markets are closed on Christmas Day 2026?\nChristmas Day is one of the most widely observed market holidays worldwide\, so most major exchanges are shut\, though a few operate on different local calendars. \n\n\n\nMarket\nStatus\nNotes\n\n\n\n\nEuronext (Paris\, Amsterdam\, Brussels\, Lisbon)\nClosed\nRegular hours otherwise 9:00 am to 5:30 pm CET/CEST\n\n\nLondon Stock Exchange (LSE)\nClosed\nUK bank holiday for Christmas Day\n\n\nNew York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq\nClosed\nUS market holiday\n\n\nTokyo Stock Exchange (TSE)\nOpen (regular hours)\nChristmas is not a public holiday in Japan\n\n\nUS bond market (SIFMA)\nClosed\nFull market close recommended by SIFMA\n\n\nCME futures\nClosed\nMost CME products halt trading for the holiday\n\n\nOptions markets (Euronext)\nClosed\nNo listed options trading on Euronext venues\n\n\n\nAlways check the official Euronext trading hours and holidays page for the definitive schedule\, since local exceptions can apply (for example\, Milan and Oslo sometimes follow slightly different calendars). \nIs the market open the day before and after?\nThursday\, December 24\, 2026 (Christmas Eve) is a half trading day on Euronext\, closing early. The next full trading session after Christmas Day is Monday\, December 28\, 2026\, assuming no further local holiday applies to a specific Euronext market. Traders should note that year-end liquidity is typically thinner in the days around Christmas\, which can widen bid-ask spreads. \nWhy do markets close for Christmas Day?\nChristmas Day is a long-standing public and religious holiday across Europe\, and exchanges have closed for it for as long as organised trading has existed in these cities. Keeping markets shut on days when most staff\, clients and counterparties are away from their desks reduces the risk of illiquid\, erratic trading and lets clearing and settlement systems pause safely. \nEuronext\, formed from the merger of the Paris\, Amsterdam\, Brussels and Lisbon exchanges\, aligns its holiday calendar across all four venues for consistency\, even though each city has its own national bank holiday traditions the rest of the year. \nWhat It Means for Your Money\nIf you place an order on Christmas Day through a broker connected to Euronext\, it will simply wait in the queue until trading resumes\, usually on the next business day. Settlement of trades made just before the holiday may take an extra day to complete because most markets settle on a T+1 basis (trade date plus one business day)\, and settlement dates skip market holidays. Dividend payments and options expiries scheduled around this period are typically moved to the nearest trading day by the relevant exchange or company. Bank transfers and payroll runs across the eurozone and UK can also be delayed a day or two\, since many high-street banks and clearing systems close for the holiday too. Cryptocurrency markets are unaffected\, as they trade 24 hours a day\, seven days a week\, including public holidays. \nRemaining Euronext holidays in 2026\n\nChristmas Eve (Half Trading Day)\, December 24\, 2026\, early close\nNew Year’s Eve (Half Trading Day)\, December 31\, 2026\, early close at 2:05 pm local time\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nIs the stock market open on Christmas Day 2026?\nNo. Euronext markets in Paris\, Amsterdam\, Brussels and Lisbon are closed all day on Friday\, December 25\, 2026. \nIs the bond market open on Christmas Day?\nIn the US\, SIFMA recommends a full close of the bond market on Christmas Day\, and European government bond trading also pauses in line with the equity market holiday. \nWhat time does Euronext close on Christmas Eve?\nDecember 24\, 2026 is a half trading day\, so Euronext markets close earlier than the usual 5:30 pm CET/CEST finish\, though the precise early close time can vary slightly by venue. \nWhen is the next Euronext market holiday after Christmas?\nThe next holiday is New Year’s Eve (Half Trading Day) on December 31\, 2026\, when Euronext markets close early ahead of the new year. \nAre banks open on Christmas Day in Europe?\nNo. Banks across France\, the Netherlands\, Belgium and Portugal are closed on Christmas Day\, which is why transfers and payments initiated that day are usually processed on the next business day. \n← Previous Euronext Holidays
