December is always a month of endings and celebrations. In the Northern Hemisphere it brings the peak of winter, school holidays, and festive traditions, while in the Southern Hemisphere it marks the start of summer, often paired with travel and outdoor gatherings.
For 2026, December begins on Tuesday, December 1, and ends on Thursday, December 31, giving the month 31 days and four full weekends. Its daily layout makes it a structured but lively month, balancing work wrap-ups with holiday planning.
Several major observances shape December 2026. Hanukkah begins on the evening of Friday, December 4, Christmas Day is celebrated on Friday, December 25, and Boxing Day follows on Saturday, December 26. Kwanzaa runs from Saturday, December 26, through Friday, January 1, 2027, and the year closes with New Year’s Eve on Thursday, December 31.
A December 2026 printable calendar is the perfect tool for managing year-end deadlines, holiday gatherings, and travel plans, while also giving space to reflect on the year gone by and prepare for a fresh start in 2027.
