I believe christmass eve was written before the split was anounced.

It's been a while since I've read Christmas Eve, but now that you mention it I remember that being said as well and it makes sense now. All I am going by is I Googled the time line for when Christmas Eve takes place and the answer was just after Skin Game. However while yeah, in Skin Game there was a body count, it didn't number in the thousands. Question though, just how does the supernatural world cover something like that up or explain it to the vanilla human world?

The rumor is that Battle Ground is the book that opens the world's eyes to the supernatural. Not sure how it's going to be explained... who would do the explaining? It's just gonna come out, and think about how the world would react to that. A thousand different ways by people of different cultures in different countries.
I remember when Christmas Eve came out, the post said that it came after Peace Talks. There was a bunch of discussion about why Murphy wasn't there. Which fits since Jim had tweeted about "Murphy's funeral".
Since Peace Talks was likely split into two after Christmas Eve was written and because Peace Talks and Battle Ground, having been one book split into two, likely are separated by very little time if any at all, it stands to reason that Christmas Eve falls after both books.
Regenbogen:
Cold Days was Halloween. After that he stayed half a year on Demonreach. So, in Skin Game it would have been around May. In the first chapter of peace talks he told Thomas, that he was a full time dad for one month now. So, I would say, PT happens in June or July, depending on when he took Maggie to his new home.
In Christmas Eve the talk was about the events of "last summer" and "all the deaths" so there are several months between the peace talks and Christmas Eve. I don't think BG would be more than half a year after PT, but more like immediately afterwards.

Skin Game was in February. Which I found a little unbelievable given Lake Michigan Ice and the lack of snow everywhere. It was also a year and change since Cold Days.
