YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Life What is Twixmas and how can you make the most of it By You Magazine - December 27, 2021 With Christmas behind us for another year, most of us are planning what to do for New Years Eve. But while some might be preparing for parties, doing their own fireworks or heading for meals out, some of us are putting our feet up and simply enjoying the in-between.

However, Twixmas is actually the word used to label those all-important relaxation days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

So if you’ve yet to buy the perfect New Year’s Eve outfit, make the most of those last few days of the month. But all in all, it’s a time where not much is going on and everyone seems to be OK with it (including us!).
