Depends on the date of your last periods.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The last pill that you missed was on 1st XXXXXXX If you had your periods after 1st XXXXXXX then there is no need to worry as you are completely protected. If you took two pills on 2nd XXXXXXX even then there is no need of emergency pill.
In case you did not have any periods after 25th December and you missed two pills in this cycle then it is best to take an emergency pill to be on the safe side.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
No need to take emergency pill.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If you started a new packet on 2nd XXXXXXX and have not missed any pill from this pack then you need not take an emergency pill.
An emergency pill can cause an irregular withdrawal bleeding and delay your next cycle. The effect can persist for 2 weeks.
Hope my answer is helpful.
