I think it's Christmas Day.

Hope you win your bet.

Christmas Day and ends on the 6th January!

The "12 days" originated when days began at sunset. They went from sunset on Dec 25th to sunset on Jan. 6th. Because days now start at midnight, in some places the 12 days start on Dec. 25th, in others on Dec. 26th.

Hope you win the bet!!!

OTM it ends on 6th Jan not the 5th.
The 6th is the Epiphany (or Little Christmas) when the 3 wise men arrived at Bethlehem.
