11.2.5 beta 2 was December 19, and 9.2.1 beta 2 was released January 4. So that’s more uncertain.

Come on guys, who cares who's right and who's wrong? No one is really certain unless they have a connection at Apple somehow. We're all just guessing here, which is what makes it fun. 
The good news is we have new betas coming today.

Just because you don’t know anyone that closes New Year’s Eve is a logical fallacy. I personally know of 10+ different companies closed that day. I have extensive family members off across the country. It’s because it falls on a Monday.New Years Eve is not a holiday, New Years Day is. Not sure anyone closes for NYE that I remember. Maybe some retail or offices close early but that should not affect iOS updates at 10:00am. Just don't think that would be a reason for no beta this week. We may not get one for other reasons though. I stand by my guess that we will though.
Not sure what part of the country your in, but all school faculty have off from 12/18-1/2 in my 4 local school districts.

Often enough in the high tech/Silicon Valley world things are somewhat more accommodating in that sense where more time off is often given during this type of time of the year, and in particular when a holiday might fall on something like a Tuesday or a Thursday, where there would just be a single day between it and the weekend, and the usual take on it that many will take that time off anyway so often enough it gets included as a day off, in one sense or another. As you said, it's not necessarily like that in other industries and/or locations, but at least for high tech and Silicon Valley it's not really uncommon.
TECHNICALLY you said "Nothing till the new year" so that makes you DEAD WRONG. Again.
That said, speculation and essentially mostly just posting simply for the sake of it are not really the same thing.
@dan9700 for Brexit Minister. His constant changing of mind and no confidence in his ability to deliver the goods makes him a prime candidate.
this only contains bug fixes and improvements? no new features? probably only need a few betas again then.
In my defense, I was talking about 12.2. So with a 12.1.2 beta, weekly betas are perfectly normal. Just about Everyone is banking on 12.2 being the next beta.
I went back to the official release of 12.1.1 and now checking for updates only wants to install 12.1.1 Beta 3.
Anything I can do to go straight to 12.1.2 beta 1?

Nope, school is out for students but not staff. We will be working Thurs 27th, Fri 28th, and Monday 31st. And just because you know 10 companies that are closed that that day does not mean that new years EVE is all of a sudden a national holiday. That is just a logical fallacy.

OK OK maybe they are closed maybe they are not. Its all good and and pretty much irrelevant anyway. We got a beta today as I suspected and speculated. Clearly nothing to do with whether Apple is working 3 weeks from now or not.
Not sure how/why these "Apple is closed, no they are not" posts come up every holiday and every year anyway.

You entirely misread my post and misinterpreted my meaning. No where did I mention anything about a national holiday. I never said everyone was off, but I said people are off in response to you saying you don't know of anything closing on Eve. And you said everywhere else you had worked has been the same. Thats the logical fallacy - assuming because you had to work others do.
(As I mentioned, your school district schedule is very, very different than anything near me. I have family members that work for 3 different districts and all are off from 12/18-1/2. Faculty are off.)

They come up because every year people post betas will be released the week of major Holidays; Thanksgiving and Xmas and they do not, because Apple is closed.

I’m going with new year based on the last beta period and it already being close to the holidays.
It s interesting to note that the beta ends with "a" which means it s very close to final release.
That’s not exactly how it works. It just means they didn’t send this build back for a revision.
