Why does Saphala Ekadashi fall on these dates?

A lunar date comes about 11 days earlier each year, until an extra lunar month (adhika) moves it later again. One falling early in January can move back into the December before, so a year can have two, and the next year none.

Why Wed 2 Jan?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Wed 2 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:50 to 22:01.

Ekadashi ended at 22:01 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 2 Jan only, at 05:41: Wed 2 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:50, before it (04:05–05:41).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 3 Jan, 05:42–18:51 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:01 on Wed 2 Jan to 18:58 on Thu 3 Jan; harivasara ends at 03:15. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 3 Jan, 05:42. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:51: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:20.

Why Mon 22 Dec?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Mon 22 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 16:55.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 16:55 Sun to 14:38.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 22 Dec only, at 05:35: Mon 22 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 16:55 Sun, before it (03:59–05:35).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 23 Dec, 05:36–11:43

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 14:38 on Mon 22 Dec to 11:43 on Tue 23 Dec; harivasara ends at 19:55 Mon. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 23 Dec, 05:36.

The rule

Pausha Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Margashirsha Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta: Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava: Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast: on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
