New Year's holidays 2026
The New Year's holidays of 2026 are approaching, and according to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Santa Claus has already crossed the border, bringing not only gifts but also 'security guarantees'. At the same time, the cost of the New Year's table for a family of four will average 3,980 hryvnias, which is 10.7% more compared to last year.
In addition to traditional dishes, if delicacies are added to the menu, the total cost of the festive table can rise to 4,793 hryvnias. This indicates an increase in food prices, which will affect family budgets during the holidays.
Updates for Kyiv residents
It is also worth noting that the Kyiv Metro has published an updated train schedule for the first days of the new year, which will allow residents of the capital to plan their trips more conveniently during the holiday days. It is expected that the New Year's holidays will bring not only joy but also certain financial challenges for Ukrainians.
The increase in the cost of the New Year's table may become an important factor for families planning celebrations, as inflation has affected food prices. This may encourage people to take a more economical approach during the holidays, as well as influence the choice of dishes for the festive menu.
The updated train schedule also indicates the readiness of the capital's infrastructure for the holiday days, which may facilitate the movement of residents and guests of Kyiv during this period.
