December 2028 Calendar
Print a December 2028 calendar for the holiday season. December 2028 starts on a Friday and ends on a Sunday, so its 31 days need 6 week rows with a Sunday start (5 with a Monday start). Christmas Day is Monday 25 December, the month’s only US federal holiday, and New Year’s Day 2029 is a Monday too, so no holiday moves into December this year. Hanukkah begins at sundown on Tuesday 12 December and ends on Wednesday 20 December, and the winter solstice is Thursday 21 December. In the UK, Christmas Day and Boxing Day are bank holidays on Monday 25 and Tuesday 26 December, with no substitute days. December 2028 also has two full moons, on 2 December and New Year’s Eve. Choose Classic, Bold, our own snowy night with pine trees, or a planner with goals, a to-do list and notes; add moon phases, week numbers and your own events such as a school concert or a holiday party; download a PDF in US Letter, A4 or A3, a PNG or SVG, or a phone or desktop wallpaper.

Everything runs in your browser: nothing you type is uploaded, and your settings autosave only in this browser. Holidays: US federal days are calculated with their observed weekdays and named as on the US Office of Personnel Management schedules; Inauguration Day follows 5 U.S.C. 6103(c) and is marked as an observance; US daylight saving time follows 15 U.S.C. §260a; UK bank holidays are the GOV.UK list for 2026–2028 (GOV.UK has not yet published 2029); Jewish holiday dates are from Hebcal. Moon phases are calculated in your browser and match the US Naval Observatory table within a minute for 2026–2029; solstice and equinox times are the US Naval Observatory’s for 2026–2029. PDF export uses jsPDF and svg2pdf.js (MIT licence); print at 100% (actual size).
