the date I have to identify the error in the following sentence but I don't think there is one :
Christmas holidays start on the 22nd of December.( my teacher said that 'on' is incorrect and that it shouldn't be written but I highly doubt it).

Re: the date I'd use the "on." I'd say it's okay without it also, but it's certainly not wrong to include it.
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

Teacher Re: the date In British English we usually say "on the 22nd of December", but we write on 22nd December or on 22 December.
Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
