@NEXTDATE — returns the next date matching a specified month and day. The date may be returned in any output date format supported by this plugin. If no output format is specified, it defaults to the local date format with a four-digit year.

Syntax:
%@NEXTDATE[month,day,date,fmt]

month1 through 12, or JAN … DEC
day1 through 31
datethe starting date, in any supported input format; defaults to today’s date
fmtthe date format used to return the resulting date, and also to interpret ambiguous input dates; defaults to 256

This function is handy for dealing with annual events which may or may not have occurred already. For example,

qcal %@nextdate[dec,25]

will display the next Christmas after today’s date — this year’s or next year’s, depending.
