Boxing Day is always 26 December

..

Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated after Christmas Day, occurring on the second or third day of Christmastide.[1] Though it originated as a holiday to give gifts to the poor, today Boxing Day is primarily known as a shopping holiday. It originated in the United Kingdom and is celebrated in a number of countries that previously formed part of the British Empire. Although according to traditional custom Boxing Day is the 27th if the 26th is Christmas Sunday, in recent times the 26th has been termed “Boxing Day” even on a Sunday. The attached bank holiday or public holiday may take place either on that day or one or two days later (if necessary to ensure it falls on a weekday). Boxing Day is also concurrent with the Christian holiday Saint Stephen’s Day.

In parts of Europe, such as Bulgaria, Catalonia (Spain) ,[2][3] Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia[4], Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway, 26 December is celebrated as a second Christmas Day.[5]
