Union general secretary Mick Lynch said: "Our members play a vital role in running the Elizabeth line and their demands for fair treatment on working hours and leave remain unmet. The current offer falls short, and our members are determined to secure a fair deal."
The RMT added members had rejected Transport for London's (TfL) pay offer and was seeking improvements to holiday entitlement and a reduction in working hours.
There is free travel on the TfL network between 23:45 on New Year's Eve and 04:30 on New Year's Day and there is expected to be high numbers of passengers on the network.
Earlier this month, planned strikes by RMT staff on the London Underground were called off following talks over pay between the union and TfL, with a union spokesperson noting it had received "a significantly improved offer".
