Or does it continue like the Christmas season?

After a few years of being Catholic, I should remember this… but I don’t. So remind me, what happens next?
 
The Easter season continues for nearly two months - I believe Eastertide lasts up until the Sunday after Pentecost (Trinity Sunday).
 
The Paschal Triduum ends with Evening Prayer on Easter Sunday.

The entire octave of Easter (through next Sunday, Divine Mercy Sunday) is a solemnity.

And the Easter season continues until Pentecost.
 
Just to add to what others have said, the Easter Day lasts eight days, ending with the Second Sunday of Easter. In fact, if you hear the words of the priest as he prays the Preface, he uses the words “Easter Day”. Furthermore, during these eight days, we will sing/recite the Gloria.

The entire Easter season lasts for 50 days, inclusive of Ascension Thursday, and ends with Pentecost Sunday.
