Boxing Day custody schedule for two homes
How co-parents share Boxing Day: the common arrangements, the dates from 2026 to 2031, and who has it when you alternate by odd and even years.
Common ways to share it
- The home that did not have Christmas Day has Boxing Day
- Alternate Boxing Day every year
- Split the day: morning at one home, afternoon at the other
- Keep it with the winter break split, whichever half it falls in

Boxing Day is December 26. Your own parenting plan decides the times.
In TaskFamily, Boxing Day becomes an exception that overrides the usual two-homes schedule for those days, so both homes and the children see where they will be. Swap requests need the other parent's approval and go into the record.
Free for one household. The Co-parent plan covers both homes for $19 a month - $9.50 each when two parents split it.
