Winter holidays in Pakistan typically occur from mid-December to January, coinciding with colder weather and the winter season. Schools in northern regions like Gilgit-Baltistan and Murree close earlier, often due to heavy snowfall and harsh weather conditions.
In southern areas, winter vacations start in late December, providing students a break from academic activities.
The holidays also align with family gatherings, festivals like Christmas, and the New Year celebrations, giving people time to rest and enjoy seasonal events.
