The Premier League's Christmas fixtures have been announced for 2024/25 - and there's a whole host of festive treats on offer this year.
This year, rest periods from rounds 17 and 20 have been increased to make sure that players get a full 60 hours of recovery in between each game.
There will also be no winter break this year, as there was in 2023/24, as the season began in mid-August, giving players a break after the Euros and the Copa America.
This year's massive fixtures include Liverpool vs Manchester City on 1st December, and Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool on 22nd December. There are also several matches taking place on Boxing Day.
In this blog we'll take a look at the entire festive fixture schedule and discuss how you can be at your team's Christmas games with hospitality tickets - which might just be the best Christmas present of all.

Has there ever been a Premier League game on Christmas Eve?
There have only ever been two Premier League games played on Christmas Eve.
In 2023, Chelsea played Wolves, with Wolves winning 4-2. Chelsea originally took the lead, but were beaten down with a hat trick from Matheus Cunha, as well as a goal from Aït-Nouri in a thrilling Christmas Eve match.
En.as.com reports the only other Premier League game to take place on 24th December was in 1995 at Elland Road, the home of Leeds United, and featured a match against rivals Manchester United.
Led by Alex Ferguson, Manchester United had finished second in the title race the previous year, but a winless run for the club allowed Newcastle to extend their lead in the current season, widening the gap to second place.
