Twelfth Night is the last day of the

Christmastide) and is the traditional end of the
Christmas seaon. It is celebrated annually on

Epiphany Eve as it is followed by

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.
