Games held by the National Football League (NFL) on Christmas Day, December 25, were historically an infrequent part of the league's schedule, but have been an annual occurrence since 2020. Prior to then the NFL had avoided annual Christmas Day games because the holiday could fall on a day in which the league does not normally schedule games, in contrast to Thanksgiving Day games since Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday.
