In fact, the four most common birthdays - 27 September, 26 September, 25 September, and 23 September - have all taken place this week. This shows that more babies are conceived in the weeks around Christmas than at any other time of the year."

The figures, calculated by averaging out every birth in England and Wales between 1995 and 2024, shows Boxing Day is the least common birthday. Just 1,302 boys and girls are born on December 26 each year."
