You're trying to add 12 months, instead of setting the month to December (which is month 11, because the Java API is horrible). You want something like:

public static Calendar defaultCalendar() {
    Calendar currentDate = Calendar.getInstance();
    currentDate.set(Calendar.MONTH, 11); // Months are 0-based!
    currentDate.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 25); // Clearer than DATE
    return currentDate;
}
