What time it gets dark in December depends on where you are. In some places it may be 4 or 5 PM. In other it may be 2 PM or earlier. In some places it stays dark all day and for weeks at a time.
In December, it typically starts to get dark earlier in the evening due to shorter daylight hours. Generally, you can expect it to start getting dark around 5:00-5:30 PM, depending on your specific location within your time zone.
That depends on where in the world you are. In the Northern Hemisphere, the days in November are among the shortest of the year (the shortest are in December). But in the Southern Hemisphere, the days in November are among the LONGEST in the year (and the longest are in December).
In North America, the sun sets in November at approximately 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM, depending on where you are.

It entirely depends on your latitude, or whether your location is experiencing daylight savings time, but I will list a few examples.
Near the equator, sunset is at around 6pm and it is competely dark by 7pm on approximately all dates of the year.
The South Pole never gets dark in October, as it experiences 24 hours of daylight between September and March.
The North Pole never sees the sun in October, it it experiences darkness from September to March.
At mid northern latitudes, generally the sun sets around 5.30pm and it is dark by 7.00pm.

The Arctic Circle is at 60 degrees latitude and is dark throughout the month of December. This time falls during the Winter Solstice.
In Patagonia it does not get dark at five o'clock in December. Indeed the time it gets dark in December is determined by your latitude North or South. The further north you are the earlier it gets dark. This is because the axis of Earth's spin is inclined in respect of the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun. In December the area round the North pole never gets light.
== == In the northern hemisphere (not just Europe) the end of December (21st/22nd) is the shortest day and it is cold and dark. Celebrations at the end of December celebrate the turning of the sun and aim to banish the cold dark and increase the light and warmth.

If it's dark for more than 24 hours around the time of the December solstice where you are then you are within 23.5° of latitude from the north pole. Since the tilt of Earth's rotational axis with respect to the plane of Earth's orbit is about 23.5°, even at local noon you are still tilted too far from the illuminated half of the planet to see the sun. The line on a globe north of which the entire area is dark at the time of the December solstice is called the Arctic Circle.
