Also known as the Wolf Moon, it will be the fourth supermoon in a row following October's Harvest Moon, November's Beaver Moon and the Cold Moon in December.
Viewing is dependent on the weather, but hopefully with largely clear skies it will be a celestial treat to look forward to as the fairy lights are being packed away.
If you miss it, the next chance to see the Moon so large and bright in the sky won't be until November, although there is the extra treat of two full Moons in May making 2026 a rare year with 13 instead of 12 full Moons.
The Moon's orbit around the Earth is elliptical - that is not quite perfectly circular - which means its distance from us varies.
When at its closest point the Moon is described as being in "perigee" and if that moment coincides with a full Moon we call it a supermoon.
At the perigee the Moon is about 220,000 miles away from Earth, compared to at its furthest point - or apogee - around 250,000 miles away.
This means that the Moon appears to be larger and brighter in the night sky.
We generally have three or four supermoons every year so they are not rare - but it is unusual to have four in a row.
The Wolf supermoon will rise on Saturday 3 January and will be at its fullest at 10.03 GMT.
However, it will look at its most impressive when closest to the horizon at evening moonrise.
