England’s 2026 bank holiday calendar has one festive detail that could easily catch people out. Boxing Day still falls on December 26, but because that date lands on a Saturday, the official bank holiday will move to Monday, December 28.

That shift means the Christmas break will look slightly different from a normal year, especially for workers planning annual leave, families arranging travel, and households trying to stretch time off around the end of December. The change is confirmed on the UK Government’s official bank holiday calendar for England and Wales.
