I know money talk feels about as cheerful as a flat tyre in December. But knowing these dates is like knowing the recipe for your gran’s mince pies: it takes the stress off, and lets you actually taste the joy. The government’s schedule is just a calendar hack dressed in official language.
So grab a cuppa, mark your real calendar for December 2026, and breathe. You, your Universal Credit, and your Christmas dinner will all land safely. And if you end up with a robot dog anyway? Just call it a holiday miracle—and never tell Sarah.
