Ask to start the second week in the new year bc. Give your current employer a two weeks notice back from that date.
✅ Get that last check.

My advice is that you start as early as possible at the new gig. Chances are that you will probably not be assigned something big at this point, meanwhile you start knowing your team and can start the new year up to speed. I think it is actually an idea situation. You can also prolly negotiate a few days of vacation before xmas saying that you had them set up at your old shop already and have plans. So you have your 2 weeks notice + a week before xmas, that give you just a couple of weeks of actual work at the new shop.

Your new agency isnt going to pay you for a week of work youre not doing, so unless you want to actually work that last week of the year, make your start date in 2022.
If you want your current company to pay you that last week of the year, you have to make Jan 1 your last day. There’s no other way to scheme them into paying you when youre not working, which is what it seems like youre looking for.
More advice: plan to give notice in early January and then start mid January. But don’t tell the new agency why; you’ll just look petty to your new bosses. If you give notice in December there is no reason for your current employer to keep you around. And if you were going to get a holiday bonus, you’d be forfeiting that, too.

You have 2 options:
Give notice the first work day of 2022 and start 2 weeks later.
Give notice asap and start in 2021 and trust it will be quiet the rest of the year.
If you give notice this year, then might not pay you out for the rest of the year.

Your agency is big enough that they probably won’t be petty and fire you before your end date. I just hired a guy who set his start date as Jan 3. Perfectly fine; there’s nothing meaningful I’d be giving him before then anyway, and I’d feel the awkward burden during year-end close to make his experience engaging.
Also worth considering is if your contract says that vacation or holidays don't count towards your notice period. And... if they walk you out, are they still required to pay you until the end of your agreed upon notice period, regardless.
Most contracts, if you quit, they can't just stop paying you if you give notice.
My new spot basically said start the day before break and they’d pay over the break. Just ask, they’ll be chill
