It became known how much Voronezh residents will rest in the New Year holidays

The last month of 2026 will give Russians an unusual schedule: we will end the year with a short working week, and the New Year holidays will stretch for 11 days. We tell you what dates should be drawn in the calendar.

In December 2026, we are waiting for 22 working days and 9 days off. Rest will be 5-6, 12-13, 19-20, 26-27 and 31 December. The final working week of the year will be quite short - you will have to work only from Monday to Wednesday, December 28-30. The last working day will not be reduced. But December 31 is declared a day off, so preparations for the holiday will pass without haste.

Rest will begin on Thursday, December 31, and will last until Sunday, January 10. The Russians will go to work on Monday, January 11, 2027. Students, according to the recommendations of the Ministry of Education, will also go on vacation from December 31 to January 10, although each educational institution has the right to adjust this schedule.

According to the Labor Code, the New Year holidays cover January 1-6 and 8, and January 7 is separately celebrated Christmas. Weekends that fall on holidays are traditionally postponed: January 2 (Saturday) will “move” to November 5 (Friday), and January 3 (Sunday) – to December 31. Thanks to this, in November 2027, the rest will last from 4 to 7 November.

December is a good month for vacation: working days are many, so vacations are almost no different from the usual salary. And if you agree with the management and issue a vacation for only three days - from 28 to 30 December - you can rest 16 days in a row, from 26 December to 10 January. This option is especially beneficial for those planning a trip.
