Will reply soon but just to say, I've started Runaways: Season 2 and I think we're reasonably safe.

Episode 1 begins with the parents thinking that their children have been found by the police, and Catherine says they were found just 24 hours after the news went out that made them fugitives. The news went out on the morning of the 24th (it's not just implied to be morning, the flights they look at are 8:22AM, 8:27AM, 8:40AM, 9:12AM, 9:15AM, 9:26AM so there's flights on average every 16 or so minutes, meaning it's likely about 8:14AM), which would suggest this is around 8AM on the 25th. However, it's evening. It's most likely not just 12 hours later, but rather the next day, a bit more than 24 hours later. Presumably, these children were found just over 24 hours later, which is what Catherine is referring to, so found on Christmas morning/midday-ish, and it's now Christmas evening as they're taken to see the children. It also helps that it's late December so it's around the earliest sunsets of the year, with Los Angeles sunset on December 25, 2017 being 16:50. So let's say that opening scene is around 17:00 on Christmas Day, a few hours after these children were found, which was a bit over 24 hours after the news went out.

Then, when we see the Runaways, it's morning again, making it the 26th. And a bit later in the episode they say they've been on the run for about 48 hours, so yeah, 26th. So there's just the one scene really that's set on Christmas Day and it's Boxing Day when the events properly continue. Still a bit weird that no one references Christmas but not as weird as if it were actual Christmas Day for these events. So that worry has turned out OK.
