+## What will be the same in December
+
+1. Zero-day and other major security-related releases will be published as necessary. Security
+   incidents should be reported via [SECURITY.md](https://github.com/electron/electron/tree/main/SECURITY.md).
+1. [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) reports
+   and moderation will continue.
+
+## What will be different in December
+
+1. No new Stable releases in December. No Nightly and Alpha releases for the last two weeks of December.
+1. With few exceptions, no pull request reviews or merges.
+1. No issue tracker updates on any repositories.
+1. No Discord debugging help from maintainers.
+1. No social media content updates.
+
+## Going forward
+
+This is our third year running our quiet period experiment, and we've had a lot of success so far
+in balancing a month of rest with maintaining our normal release cadence afterwards. Therefore,
+we've decided to make this a regular part of our release calendar going forward. We'll still be
+putting a reminder into the last stable release of every calendar year.
+
+See you all in 2024!
