Advent in the year 2025 starts on Sunday, November 30th. This marks the beginning of the Advent season in Western Christian traditions, which is the period of preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ at Christmas. Advent always begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, which typically falls between November 27th and December 3rd, and ends on Christmas Eve. The season lasts for approximately four weeks and signals the start of the new liturgical year for many Christian denominations. Advent emphasizes anticipation and hope as families prepare spiritually and traditionally for Christmas.
