The “Easter Bunny” is traditionally said to come overnight on Easter Sunday , so for 2026 you’ll want to be ready the night before Easter Sunday (often called Easter Eve), with baskets set out before bedtime. Most widely used Christian and civil calendars list Easter Sunday 2026 as April 5, 2026 , so the Easter Bunny would “come” in the very early hours of Sunday, April 5, 2026 in many English‑speaking countries.
