The stops are being kept under wraps but the Cambridges will greet frontline workers, volunteers, care staff, teachers and pupils.
Aides say they plan to pass on the nation’s “sincere thanks and gratitude” for their efforts.
Kensington Palace said: “The Duke and Duchess are very much looking forward to shining a spotlight on the incredible work that has been done.”
Many stop-offs will be organisations and initiatives that have been supported by community relief funds, including NHS Charities Together.
Visits will celebrate the arts and heritage and include live performances and Christmas events, sources say.
