As the winter season approaches, students across Telangana can eagerly anticipate their annual winter vacation. The December holidays in 2025 are strategically timed to provide a significant and much-anticipated break, offering a crucial chance for family time, joyful Christmas celebrations, and rejuvenating winter outings.
