The Christmas Day bank holiday for 2022 will be moved from December 25 to December 27.
When Christmas day falls on a weekend, as it will this year, an alternative day is chosen for the occasion. As it falls on Sunday, the bank holiday will be moved to Tuesday after Boxing day, to give Brits a much needed extra day off.
The New Year's bank holiday will happen on January 2. Scotland will see another bank holiday fall on January 3, as a "substitute day" for January 2, but this will not be seen in the rest of the UK.
