Sending Flowers to Hungary Over New Year: Holiday Delivery Dates
If you want to send flowers to Hungary for New Year, plan on a delivery before January 1, not on it. FlowersHungary offers next-day delivery across Hungary, Monday to Saturday, for orders placed before midnight Hungary time. To have a bouquet arrive on Thursday, December 31, 2026, order by Wednesday, December 30.
Can You Send Flowers to Hungary on New Year's Day?
No. New Year's Day (Újév) is a main public holiday, and the service does not deliver on main public holidays or on Sundays. January 1, 2027 is a Friday, so the last delivery window before the holiday is Thursday, December 31.
An order placed on New Year's Eve (Szilveszter) will not reach the recipient that day, because next-day delivery means the bouquet goes out the following day, which is the holiday.
Which Days Are Closed for Flower Delivery Around New Year?
The holiday stretch is busy, so check these dates before you pick a day:
| Date | Day | Delivery status | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 24, 2026 | Thursday | Christmas Eve (Szenteste), confirm with the florist | Order by Wed, Dec 23 |
| Dec 25, 2026 | Friday | Closed, Christmas (Karácsony) | Do not order for this day |
| Dec 26, 2026 | Saturday | Closed, second day of Christmas | Do not order for this day |
| Dec 27, 2026 | Sunday | Closed, no Sunday deliveries | Do not order for this day |
| Dec 31, 2026 | Thursday | Open, delivery day | Order by Wed, Dec 30 |
| Jan 1, 2027 | Friday | Closed, New Year's Day | Do not order for this day |
The closure list above follows the site's rules: no Sunday deliveries and no deliveries on main public holidays. Because Christmas Eve is not a standard delivery day on every calendar, ask the florist through the contact page before you rely on it.
How Does the Next-Day Rule Work Over the Holidays?
The rule is simple. Orders placed before midnight Hungary time are delivered the next day, as long as that next day is a delivery day. Orders are not delivered the same day, so a Thursday order arrives on Friday, not Thursday.
When a holiday or Sunday falls on the day after your order, the bouquet cannot go out that day. That is why the gap around Christmas and New Year is wider than a normal week. Count forward from the holiday, not from the day you feel like sending.
Time zones matter too. Midnight is measured in Hungary, so an order placed at 11 p.m. in New York or London may already fall on the next Hungarian day. Check the local time before you click.
What Is the Latest Date to Order for New Year?
The latest order date for a New Year's Eve arrival is Wednesday, December 30, 2026, placed before midnight Hungary time. That gives a Thursday, December 31 delivery.
The site also recommends ordering at least 2 to 3 days ahead for major flower dates. Use that as a buffer, because a single missed deadline in a different time zone can push your delivery past the holiday.
If your recipient lives in a smaller town, order earlier. Coverage includes all of Hungary, but exact delivery time slots are not guaranteed, so plan for the whole day rather than a set hour. Browse the Budapest delivery page or the city page for your recipient to confirm they are covered.

What Information Does the Florist Need for Delivery?
The florist needs three things: the recipient's full name, the full delivery address in Hungary, and a phone number so the florist can coordinate the drop-off. Missing details are the most common cause of a delayed delivery, so double-check the spelling of the address.
You can also write a preferred time in the delivery instructions. The florist tries to meet it, but exact time slots are not guaranteed. Use the card message for your greeting, such as Boldog új évet! (Happy New Year!), and keep it short.
If you are sending an arrangement with a specific look, you can browse picks like the Twilight Velvet Gathering before you order.
