The 19th and 20th of Kislev are the Rosh HaShanah of Chassidus.

“The practice has become widespread [616] to hold the main farbrengen of Yud-Tes Kislev on the eve of the 20th, because the Alter Rebbe was released from prison on the 19th at Minchah time, and for the following three hours he found himself in the home of an antagonist to Chassidism, where he suffered spiritual anguish. [617]
“In many places, nevertheless, people gather for a farbrengen on the eve of the 19th as well - and may chassidic blessings light upon them.” more@SichosInEnglish.org
