December 2026 in brief
The year’s final month begins on a Tuesday and has 31 days. Christmas falls at the end of a working week, so many people get a long weekend straight away, and New Year’s Eve is a Thursday. Because 2026 has 53 ISO weeks, the last days of December belong to week 53.
Key dates
- About 21 December: the winter solstice.
- 24 December (Thursday): Christmas Eve.
- 25 December (Friday): Christmas Day.
- 26 December (Saturday): Boxing Day; Kwanzaa begins.
- 28 December (Monday): substitute bank holiday for Boxing Day in the UK.
- 31 December (Thursday): New Year’s Eve.
Planning the season
Write in the last posting dates for cards and parcels, school concerts and work parties as soon as you know them. A shared family calendar on the fridge stops double bookings over the holidays. In the quiet days after Christmas, set up the January 2027 calendar and a fresh habit tracker.
Printing tips
Print in landscape at actual size. Two copies, one for the fridge and one for the office, help keep everyone in sync.
