There is no regular mail delivery in the UK on December 26, 2025 (Boxing Day), because it is a public holiday and Royal Mail does not deliver or collect that day.

UK mail on 26 December 2025

  • December 26 is Boxing Day in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, and it is treated as a full public holiday.
  • Royal Mail’s Christmas 2025 guidance states there are no deliveries or collections on Boxing Day; normal service resumes after the holiday period.

If you’re waiting for something

  • Anything due on 26 December will typically move to the next working postal day once services restart.
  • Post Offices and sorting operations are closed for standard services, so tracking updates may pause until the network reopens.

Bottom line: if you’re in the UK, do not expect normal post on 26 December 2025; plan for it to arrive on the following working day instead.
