Moving Over the Holidays in Round Rock: What to Know
By the Round Rock Affordable Movers crew · October 28, 2026 · 5 min read
Yes, you can move over the holidays, and in Round Rock it's often easier than in summer: no 100° heat, and many weekdays are calmer. The days to book early are the end of the month (Nov 30 and Dec 31) and the weekends around Thanksgiving and Christmas. We're open 7 days a week. Call or text 512-590-4119 to grab your date.
Is the holiday season a good time to move?
For a lot of people, yes:
- ✓Cooler weather: Central Texas in November and December is usually mild, which is easier on you, your crew, and your belongings than an August move
- ✓Time off work: Thanksgiving week and the days between Christmas and New Year's give many families extra days to pack and settle in
- ✓Kids between semesters: winter break lets families move without pulling kids out mid-week (Round Rock ISD and other local districts post their break dates online)
The busiest days to plan around in 2026
Everyone else has the same idea for the same few days, so these dates fill up first. If your date is flexible, a mid-month weekday is usually the easiest to book.
| Date | Why it's busy |
|---|---|
| Sat, Nov 28 – Sun, Nov 29 | Thanksgiving weekend: people are off work |
| Mon, Nov 30 | End-of-month lease turnover |
| Sat, Dec 19 – Sun, Dec 20 | The weekend before Christmas week |
| Sat, Dec 26 – Thu, Dec 31 | A week off work, plus end-of-year leases |
Have to be out on the 30th or 31st? Book as early as you can.
Do movers work on holidays and weekends?
We're open 7 days a week: Monday through Saturday 8 AM–10 PM, and Sunday 8 AM–8 PM. Hours on the holidays themselves can vary, so call or text 512-590-4119 to check a specific date.
Need to move fast? Same-day moves are available whenever a crew is open. Call or text as early in the day as you can.
Is it cheaper to move in winter?
Our hourly rates are the same all year: from $100 per hour for 2 movers on easy moves, with most moves at $120–$150 per hour, a 2-hour minimum, and a truck fee of $100–$150 only if you need our moving truck. Estimates are free, and we price match written quotes from other licensed movers.
Where winter really saves you money is time. A crew that isn't fighting summer heat keeps a steady pace, and with hourly pricing, a shorter move means a smaller bill.
Holiday moving tips
- ✓Book early, then confirm the week before, especially for Nov 30 or Dec 31
- ✓Watch the weather: cold fronts and rain move through Central Texas fast, so check the forecast 2–3 days out and have towels and a mat by the door
- ✓Hard freeze coming? Unhook and drain your washer hoses ahead of time, and move plants yourself
- ✓Pack the holiday decorations first, and label one box "OPEN FIRST" with sheets, chargers, medicine, and coffee
- ✓Update your address with USPS and online stores so holiday packages don't land at your old place
- ✓Ask your apartment office about holiday office hours, elevator reservations, and move-out rules early
