If you look at the calendar, Christmas will fall on Sunday in the following coming years: 2011, 2016, 2022, 2033, 2039, 2044 and 2050; less than 7 years most of the time and over a decade every twenty-eight years. So there is a repeating pattern: after 5 years, then 6 years, then 11 years, then 6 years and then the pattern starts over again.

Christmas Day falls on a Sunday as often as any other day, it just so seems less frequent as it only happens 1/7th of the time, as supposed to Easter which is always on Sunday.

In the 21st Century, Christmas will be on Sunday these years:

2005, 2011, 2016, 2022, 2033, 2039, 2044, 2050, 2061, 2067, 2072, 2078, 2089 and 2095.

Years in bold are past years.

Is there a recurring pattern regarding how often Christmas Day falls on Sunday?

Christmas is always on the 25th of December so the day of the week changes every year. Christmas 2011 was on a Sunday so logically it should be on a Sunday in 2018 but because of leap years the next time Christmas will fall on a Sunday will be 2016. The pattern does eventually repeat but not for many years.
