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 Fri 1 Jan?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Fri 1 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 17:48.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:48 Thu to 15:50.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 1 Jan only, at 05:41: Fri 1 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:48 Thu, before it (04:05–05:41).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 2 Jan, 05:41–14:04

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 15:50 on Fri 1 Jan to 14:04 on Sat 2 Jan; harivasara ends at 21:24 Fri. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 2 Jan, 05:41. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:19.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 23 Dec, 05:36–07:29

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 10:33 on Wed 22 Dec to 07:29 on Thu 23 Dec; harivasara ends at 15:47 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 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).
