Christmas and New Year’s Day occur exactly one week apart. So a New Year’s that occurs right after Christmas should be on the same day of the week. But in the year 2020 Christmas will occur on a Friday and New Year’s on a Wednesday.
Why is this?

Except not in that order. New Year’s Day 2020 will indeed fall on a Wednesday (just like Christmas Day 2019), but then 51 weeks LATER, Christmas Day 2020 will fall on a Friday (just like New Years Day 2021).
New Year’s Day for the next year follows 7 days after the Christmas of the previous year. For the Christmas and new the same calendar year, Christmas happens much much later in the year.
Taylor, you are today’s winner!
In 2020 New Year’s occurs on January 1st, 2020 and Christmas on December 25th, 2020. These dates are 51 weeks and 2 days apart, not one week apart (during the year New Year’s occurs before Christmas).
