Christmas in July, also known as Christmas in Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and Christmas in Winter or Midwinter Christmas in the Southern Hemisphere, is a second Christmas celebration held on 25 July that falls outside the traditional period of Christmastide. It is centered on secular Christmas-themed activities and entertainment, including small gatherings, seasonal entertainment, and shopping. July Christmas celebrations typically accommodate those living in the Southern Hemisphere, where they experience winter at that time.
