Ceres is not a planet in our solar system but rather a dwarf planet located in the asteroid belt, while Xena, also known as Eris, is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt. Therefore, in terms of distance from the sun, Ceres is closer as it is in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, while Xena (Eris) is further away in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune.
