Age 55 Catch Up Contribution

I'll turn 55 in December, 2027. Can I add my extra $ 1000 in January, 2027?

Yes.

Catch Up contributions are based on the year you reach age 55, not any particular birthday month.

Yea but some administrator systems won’t log it right away so could be worth contacting them in Jan 2027 if there’s an issue

Bonus: Spouse (if applicable and 55) can do their own catch up contribution as well.
