What has become commonly known as the 'Last Supper' was actually the evening meal of the Passover celebration. Jesus was preparing to become mankind's Passover lamb to die for the sins of all.
He commanded all to remember this last meal by instituting new symbols for it - bread for His body and wine for His blood. Christians are to do this annually to recall His great love and sacrifice for each of us. Jesus also instructed us to become humble at this time and He showed us how by washing His Apostles' feet.
The meal period would of began at sunset about 6:00 PM and last for the customary three hours. Around 9:00 PM after the singing of the hymn, He went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray and prepare for His crucifixion and burial during the daylight portion of the Passover. He was in His tomb on the start of the Annual Sabbath of the Days of Unleavened Bread for 3 days and 3 nights. He arose just before sunset on that Saturday and was seen in the early dark hours of the 1st day of the week - Sunday. He ascended to His Father in Heaven as mankind's 'wave sheaf' offering - fully accepted by the Father.
The OT Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread pictured this NT event which Christ fulfilled.

Communion
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. Acts 2:42
Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. 1 Cor 16:2
And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. Acts 20:7
In 1 Cor 16 we see they met on the first day of the week and used that opportunity to provide for the less fortunate saints in Jerusalem. In Acts 20 we understand they met on the first day of the week to "break bread." Paul had much to say about that to the Corinthian church. (1 Cor 11) He told them they were partaking of the Lord's Supper incorrectly. He admonished them because the Lord's Supper is not a regular meal; some skipped it altogether and others were getting drunk. This is not the Lord's Supper!
In Acts 2 we see they continued "steadfastly" in breaking bread and prayers. They did not meet once a year nor did they break bread once a year. They did it weekly.

It isn't a supper exactly: it is a holiday - Christmas though technically speaking this isn't correct. The Bible says that sheep were in the fields which would have been spring, summer, or early autumn. But Christmas is the time when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus. Possibly you are thinking of the Last Supper, which is associated with his death.
