This is an urban legend.

There is no special change in gravitation on December 21 (the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, when the Earth is closest to the Sun). If an egg cannot be balanced at any other time, it will not be any more possible on December 21.

And, oddly enough, the original date suggested was the vernal equinox (March 21 in the Northern Hemisphere). Nothing special about balancing then either.

When will an egg stand on its end?

How does an egg stand upright?

An egg can stand upright due to its shape, which is slightly asymmetrical. The wider end of the egg is more stable when placed on a flat surface, allowing it to balance. Additionally, the egg's contents, including the yolk and albumen, shift slightly when the egg is moved, helping to find the center of gravity that supports an upright position. The combination of shape and internal dynamics permits an egg to stand, albeit not very securely.

Why does an egg stand up on the spring equinox?

An egg can stand up on its end at any time of the year with a bit of balance and patience. There is no special connection between the egg standing up and the spring equinox. It is a fun experiment that can be done with practice and the right egg.
