December 2027 Calendar
December 2026 in the plain grey grid, dates and US holidays already set, for the plans that run more than a year out: a lease, a term timetable, a wedding date, a flight booked while it is still cheap.

December 2027 Calendar
Next December in the pastel palette, same roomy squares as this year. For the classroom wall chart that gets planned a year ahead, and for anyone already counting down to a birthday in 2026.

December 2026 Calendar, Landscape
December turned on its side, so every day box is about twice as wide as it is tall. Print this Letter landscape sheet when a single date holds three things and you want to write all three of them in.

December 2026 Calendar, Landscape
The wide December in sage and cream, seven columns across a landscape Letter page, made for the strip of wall above a desk where a portrait sheet never quite fits.

December 2026 Calendar, Landscape
Aesthetic December in landscape on US Letter, soft arches and a journal look for the planner who hangs the month sideways above a desk.

December 2026 Calendar, Monday Start
December with the week opened on Monday, so Saturday and Sunday sit together at the end of the row. The layout most of Europe reads, and the one that lets a working week run straight across the page.

December 2026 Calendar, Monday Start
Monday to Sunday in pastel, for a December that runs on a school timetable rather than an American wall calendar. Same dates, same illustration, the weekend simply moves to the right.

December 2026 Calendar with Lined Boxes
Three faint rules inside every December box, so the school concert, the delivery slot and the dinner written on one date stay in three straight lines instead of sliding into each other.

Lined day boxes in the pastel December grid on US Letter: three soft rules per cell for handwriting that needs a rail.

December 2026 Calendar with a Notes Column
Seven day columns for December and an eighth for the week itself. The present list, the cards still to post and the big food shop belong to no single date, and this is where they go.

December 2026 Calendar with a Notes Column
Pastel December with a weekly notes column on Letter paper: seven day columns plus an eighth ruled twice for lists that belong to the week.

December 2026 Calendar for A4 Paper
December 2026 drawn at true A4 dimensions rather than shrunk down from US Letter, so the grid keeps its full width and you can stop ticking "fit to page" every time you print it.

December 2026 Calendar for A4 Paper
The pastel December rebuilt at A4 size, for the kitchen printer in Madrid, Buenos Aires or Manchester that has never had a sheet of US Letter put through it.

December 2026 Calendar, Binder Insert
December with an empty gutter down the left edge and the three punch positions drawn inside it, so a hole punch can never take a bite out of a marked holiday. Print, punch, and it drops into a ring binder.

December 2026 and January 2027 on One Page
December 2026 above, January 2027 below, both dated, both marked with their holidays and both big enough to write in. Planning always spills into the next month, and this sheet shows the spill.

When is Christmas?
Christmas Day is always December 25, so the useful question is which weekday it falls on. In 2026 that is a Friday, which makes the holiday weekend start early for many households. Print a December Letter calendar above with the 25th marked, then use landscape, lined or notes sheets if the week fills with travel, school concerts and shipping deadlines.
The full set of December layouts lives on the December 2026 calendar page. November planning that spills into Christmas belongs on the November calendar or the two month sheet that stacks both months.
From Thanksgiving to the 25th
Many families sketch gift lists and travel in late November. Keep Thanksgiving dates on the Thanksgiving page, then move shipping cutoffs and parties onto December paper. Pastel fridge designs are in the cute calendars collection.
Federal holidays in December
Christmas Day is a US federal holiday. When it falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the observed day off moves to the adjacent Friday or Monday. For every federal date in 2027, including observed days, open US federal holidays 2027.
