Christmas Full Moon First Since 1977

This Christmas Santa will have a little more light to travel by. For the first time since 1977, there will be a full moon on Christmas, reaching its peak around 6:11 a.m.
A full moon on Christmas has only occurred 4 times in the 1900's and the next won’t happen until 2034. December’s full moon is also known as the Full Cold Moon.
According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, certain Native American cultures have dubbed the event the Long Nights Moon, as the winter solstice kicks off around the same time, bringing with it the longest night of the year.

Winter begins December 22 at 11:48 a.m.
