Kate and Gerry McCann said it is "heartbreaking" to have to accept that they would spend a third Christmas without their missing daughter Madeleine.
In a heartfelt Christmas message, the couple said they felt "great disappointment" that all their efforts to find the little girl had so far failed.
But they insisted that their resolve would not weaken and said they would "pursue all avenues" that could help Madeleine.
Mr and Mrs McCann, both 41, from Rothley, Leicestershire, posted the message on their official Find Madeleine website.
They said: "It is heartbreaking for our family to accept the likelihood of spending a third Christmas without Madeleine.
"Her absence is even more tangible at this time of year. It is difficult also to believe that another year has passed by.
"It has however been an incredibly busy year with so much hard work going into the investigation and campaign to find Madeleine. "
Madeleine was nearly four when she went missing from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal on May 3 2007 while her parents dined with friends nearby.
Despite a massive police investigation and publicity worldwide, she has not been found.
Mr and Mrs McCann are preparing for another sad landmark early next year - on January 27 it will be 1,000 days since Madeleine disappeared.

It must be awful to be in the McCanns shoes this Christmas. God Bless Madeleine may you be returned to your loving family sooner rather than later.

This is NOT going to go away, despite what he tells you, it will get worse day by day, until it consumes you and permeates your soul.

Thats also my birthday.I will be sure to blow out any candles and make a wish for little Madeleine to be home safe,that's if she isn't before then!!

I agree with you both my friends May and Rosiepops.

I am sure it is worse for the McCanns during Christmas, etc. They've said so themselves.

But every day must be a sock in the stomach. Every day the little ones reach a milestone or say something or do something that must make Kate and Gerry think... what would Madeleine have done... what would Madeleine have said... would Madeleine have liked this story? Wishing Madeleine was there to play with Amelie and Sean, to come home from school with them, to talk to them, to hear them speak. All of the little things that Kate and Gerry dreamed of when they were praying and hoping for a family, and were so blessed -- only to have to ripped away from them by a criminal and made worst by a corrupt cop.

That is why we must fight for them.
