Sinterklaas in 2026 runs across 5 and 6 December. In the Netherlands the gift evening, Pakjesavond, is 5 December, and the saint’s day is 6 December. Flanders keeps the same days. This is not Christmas, and it is not the UK Small Business Saturday, which also falls on 5 December. The page is for northern Europe, where this custom is actually kept, not for a global December shop. Sweets and bakery belong here only when a real food record is already published. No parade route is invented.
Why this date is separate
5 and 6 December 2026. Gift evening in the Netherlands, the saint’s day on the 6th. The collection is filed for northern-europe. A reader in another season should not be handed this page as if the weather matched.
