The month of November brought a series of holidays for school students amid the festivals like Diwali to Chhath Puja. Now, as the year 2023 comes to an end, students and teachers can look forward to winter breaks in the month of December.
Usually, December does not include many national holidays but schools may remain closed depending on regional calendars. The winter vacation in most of the states extends from around Christmas to New Year. In many states, mostly in north India, schools also remain closed temporarily due to extreme weather conditions.
Holidays in December 2023
Christmas Holiday
The duration of the Christmas holiday also depends on the individual school’s winter break schedule. Some schools allow winter break starting around Christmas up to New Year while many schools allow only Christmas holiday for a day or two. This year, since Christmas falls on Monday, the students and teachers can expect an extended holiday from December 23 to 25.
New Year's Eve
Typically, the New Year's Eve witnesses grand celebrations across the globe with India being no exception. Schools across the country often give a holiday on December 31 and a New Year's holiday on January 1. This year, December 31 falls on Sunday, but for the students studying in schools that allow holidays on January 1, it'll be an extended weekend celebration.
Maharishi Valmiki Jayanti
Schools in many states may remain closed on the occasion of Maharishi Valmiki Jayanti on December 20. In many states Maharishi Valmiki Jayanti is a government holiday.
Sunday's in December
There will also be five Sunday's in December on 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st of the month.
