But there's one day in particular day that causes more arguments than the rest: Christmas Day.
The research, conducted by Bolsover Cruise Club, found that the peak time for rows on December 25th is just as the afternoon festivities kick off: around 12:06 pm.
And on that one day alone, families spend an average of 1 hour and 13 minutes bickering.
More than one in six (66 per cent) of people said that Christmas dinner preparation was the main source of their arguments with family on Christmas Day.
And squabbles spurred on by board games were a close second, with 54 per cent of people admitting that was their reasons or arguing on December 25th.
Rounding out the top five are entertaining the in-laws (51 per cent), drinking too much on Christmas Day (45 per cent) and not being appreciative (38 per cent).
