When to follow up after referral?

So I got a referral to a bank for the sophomore program, and I emailed them on 12/20 and they said "we'll be in touch," but I haven't heard anything since. Is it appropriate for me to follow up to ask about the timeline? When should I do that?

It's the first week back after a holiday that followed a treacherous year in terms of deal activity. I would give it until the end of next week before following up.
