Below are the best dates to use for December seminars and the ones to avoid.

Looking Ahead

  • Hanukkah – Hanukkah begins at sundown on Friday, December 4th, and ends at nightfall on Saturday, December 12th. Be considerate of those observing the holiday when selecting seminar dates, as family gatherings and religious traditions may affect attendance.
  • Winter Solstice – The Winter Solstice falls on Monday, December 21st, marking the official start of winter and the shortest day of the year. With daylight hours at their lowest, consider earlier event times when appropriate.
  • Christmas Eve and Christmas Day – Christmas Eve falls on Thursday, December 24th, followed by Christmas Day on Friday, December 25th. With holiday travel and family celebrations taking priority, consider scheduling your seminars earlier in the month to maximize participation.
  • Restaurant Minimums – Many restaurants adjust their food and beverage minimums during the holiday season. Confirm pricing, minimum spending requirements, and any additional fees before finalizing your event budget.
  • NFL Games – Football remains a major scheduling consideration throughout December, particularly with Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football, and late-season matchups. Review the NFL schedule before choosing your event dates to help avoid competing with popular games.
  • Weather Considerations – Winter weather can create unexpected challenges for travel and attendance. If you're hosting events in areas prone to snow or icy conditions, consider scheduling seminars across multiple weeks to provide additional flexibility.
  • Year-End Financial Planning – December offers an excellent opportunity to connect with individuals reviewing their financial goals before the new year. Highlight timely topics such as year-end tax strategies, retirement planning, and investment considerations to encourage registrations and meaningful conversations.
