The longest day of the year, known as the summer solstice, typically falls on June 21 or 22 in the Northern Hemisphere. However, the exact date can vary slightly each year due to the Earth's elliptical orbit and leap years. In the Southern Hemisphere, the longest day occurs around December 21 or 22. Thus, while it usually happens around the same dates, it is not always on the exact same day each year.

Every year. Jan.1 and Dec. 25Improved Answer:Christmas Day and New Year ALWAYS fall into the same year, IF you think in terms of the Gregorian calender, but FOR those who continue to use the Julian calendar or its equivalents thus celebrate December 25 and January 6 on what for the majority of the world is January 7 and January 19, which has the result, that Christmas Day and New Year would NOT fall within the same year, due to the overlap.Note: Parts of my answer where taken from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia > Article: ChristmasTheWiseToddSharpe
Why did Christmas day and New Year's Day not fall on the same day in 1945?
New Year's Day and Christmas Day of the same year never fall on the same day. The 1st of January 1945 was on a Monday and the 25th of December 1945 was on a Tuesday. That is completely normal. A week after Christmas Day is New Year's Day, but that is New Year's Day of the following year. So Christmas Day 1945 would have been on the same day of the week as New Year's Day 1946, the next year. In the same way, Christmas Day 1944 and New Year's Day 1945 were on the same day of the week.
