What is Twelfth Night?

Twelfth Night is celebrated annually on January 5. It is the last day of the Twelve Days of Christmas and is the traditional end of the Christmas seaon (Christmastide). It is also known as Epiphany Eve as it is followed by Epiphany on January 6.

In many countries so-called "king cakes", named after the three biblical kings, are baked on Twelfth Night in preparation for the Epiphany festival the next day and the beginning of the Epiphany season. It is also customary for Christians in many countries to remove their Christmas decorations on Twelfth Night.

Some countries have the custom of giving gifts on Twelfth Night, either instead of giving them at Christmas or in addition to Christmas.
