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 Sun 2 Jan?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Sun 2 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 11:03.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 2 Jan only, at 07:02: Sun 2 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 11:03 Sat, before it (05:26–07:02).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 3 Jan, 07:03–15:51
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 13:19 on Sun 2 Jan to 15:51 on Mon 3 Jan; harivasara ends at 19:57 Sun. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 3 Jan, 07:03. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:15.
