Holidays in December 2026

The list below is worked out from the federal holiday rules for December 2026's own weekdays, with nothing carried over from another year's table. The federal holiday is also marked inside its grid cell; observances appear in this list only, so the printed cells stay clear. December has a single federal date this year, and it lands on a weekday, so no observed-day substitution applies.

How this December 2026 page works

December has 31 days, with Christmas Day on Friday the 25th. Use the standard layout for more writing space, or choose coloring top for a blank drawing panel above the grid. Both layouts include the same dates and federal holiday marks. The Print / Save as PDF button redraws the sheet from your current settings before the dialog opens, so the printout includes any change you just made.

Every line and numeral on the sheet sits at a real millimeter coordinate in an SVG. When the print dialog opens, the page gives it the dimensions of Letter or A4 paper, so the browser lays the grid onto paper whose size it already knows, with no stored file to stretch or shrink. The code finds that the month opens on a Tuesday, counts out 31 days and places each one in turn, five week rows deep. Christmas Day is in its cell because the federal holiday rules, applied to December 2026, put it on the 25th.

There are no week numbers along the edge and no lunar phases in the corners; some planners want them and others find them clutter. Non-federal observances, New Year's Eve among them, are listed below the sheet and left unmarked in the cells, so every mark in the grid is a federal holiday. If your week runs Monday to Sunday, the Monday-start option rebuilds the grid, still five rows this month. In the print dialog, keep the scale at 100%, sometimes labeled Actual size. A fit-to-page or shrink-to-fit option scales the drawing down, and the printed calendar then no longer matches the measurements this page drew.

Frequently asked questions

What day of the week is Christmas Day in 2026?
Christmas Day 2026 falls on Friday, December 25, and it is the only federal holiday in the month. It is a weekday, so the federal observed date is the same day and no substitution rule applies. On the sheet the 25th carries the holiday mark inside its cell, and because it is a Friday, the holiday runs straight into the weekend for most schedules.
Is New Year's Eve 2026 a federal holiday?
No. New Year's Eve, Thursday, December 31, 2026, is an observance, so no federal closure rule applies to it. On this page it appears in the computed list under the sheet with no mark inside the grid, because cell marks are for federal dates. Plenty of workplaces close early that day by their own choice; your employer's calendar decides that.
What day does December 2026 start on?
Tuesday. December 1, 2026 falls on a Tuesday, and the month runs 31 days to end on Thursday the 31st, so the year finishes midweek. Those dates fill five week rows, and the count stays at five whichever day you set the week to begin on, so switching the week start leaves the height of the grid unchanged.
Is there a December 2026 calendar kids can color?
Yes. Choose the coloring-top layout: it moves the full December grid to the lower part of the page and frames a blank panel above it for crayons or markers. The dates, the Christmas mark and the print size stay the same; only the proportions change. It suits the gift season: a child draws the scene, the family uses the calendar through the month, and the drawing is what gets kept in January.
Will the December 2026 calendar print at the right size on A4?
Yes. Choose A4 in the paper-size control and the sheet is redrawn for 210 × 297 mm before printing, so the grid is laid out for A4 from the start. The only setting to watch is the print dialog's scale: it needs to read 100% or Actual size. The sheet keeps a fixed 12.7 mm margin on every side. If your printer still clips the edge, the Calendar Generator under Related tools can print December with a margin of up to 25 mm, without the holiday mark.
