Assuming no speed restrictions, from the beginning of Christmas Day on the Line Islands of Kiribati and in Samoa (UTC+14) until the end of Christmas Day on Baker and Howland Islands (UTC-12) is 50 hours. However, since Baker and Howland Islands are officially uninhabited, some consider the westernmost time zone to be UTC-11, which includes American Samoa, Midway and Niue, shortening the total duration of Christmas Day (or any day) to 49 hours.

What is the time difference between New York and Samoa?
American Samoa is 6 hours behind New York during Standard Time (Winter) and 7 Hours behind New York during Daylight Saving Time. If it is noon in New York, it is 6am in winter and 5am in summer in American Samoa. The time difference to Samoa (Not American Samoa) is a little harder to calculate since their daylight saving time "falls" forward in September and "Springs" backwards in April. So the time difference is either 6 hours behind when both Samoa and the New York are in Daylight Saving Time. 7 Hours behind when New York is in Daylight Saving and Samoa is Not.

Is it possible to skip February 29 in a leap year by going over the international date line?
Since the end of 2011, the international date line passes between Samoa and American Samoa. From April to September Samoa (UTC+13) is 24 hours ahead of American Samoa (UTC-11), but from September to April Samoa observes Daylight Saving Time, making it 25 hours ahead of American Samoa. That means that when the time in Samoa is 00:30 on the 1st of March of a leap year, the time in American Samoa is 23:30 on the 28th of February. The distance between Pago Pago, American Samoa and Apia, Samoa is about 77 miles or 124 km, so I'm sure it can be flown in less than an hour.(In other words, yes.)
