With Christmas around the corner, here is a full list of other school holidays in December

With Christmas and New Year around the corner, winters have become more chilly, and it might be challenging to wake up early at 6 in the morning to reach school on time. As it is the winter month when Christmas celebrations are eagerly awaited, many schools and colleges across India and internationally give students a winter break in December. Depending on the institution's criteria, students are given a winter vacation of almost ten days, including Christmas and New Year days.

Christmas this year will fall on a weekend. It will be a Saturday on Christmas Eve and a Sunday on 25th December 2022. Apart from the winter vacations, there will be four more weekends in December and a Saturday on December 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31.

The New Year will begin with a holiday, as 1st January 2023 will be a Sunday.


Apart from enjoying themselves with family and friends, students can utilize these holidays to cover their syllabus and focus more on the upcoming exams, as 10th and 12th class board exams are lined up the early next year.

Also, the exam dates for entrance tests like JEE Mains and NEET will soon be announced.
