Asteroid 2024 XN1 should pass by harmlessly at a distance of 4.48 million miles ( 7.21 million km ) from Earth .
It will be very far away, around 18 times further away from the Earth than the Moon.
But experts say there is no chance of Christmas being ruined by a collision with this vast space rock.
If it were to hit the planet it would impact with a force equivalent to 12 million tonnes of TNT and flatten an area of 700 square miles ( 2,000 square km ).
