Christmas has fallen on a Sunday three times in the 21st century: 2005, 2011, and 2016.
Christmas was on a Monday in 1989, since then Christmas was on Sunday in 1994, 2000, 2005, 2011 and will be on a Sunday again in 2016.

This pattern occurs because the Gregorian calendar repeats every 400 years, with Christmas falling on a Sunday every 11 years within that cycle. This is due to the 11-day difference between the Gregorian calendar and the Julian calendar, which was in use when Christmas was established as December 25th.
