If it's dark for more than 24 hours around the time of the December solstice where you are then you are within 23.5° of latitude from the north pole. Since the tilt of Earth's rotational axis with respect to the plane of Earth's orbit is about 23.5°, even at local noon you are still tilted too far from the illuminated half of the planet to see the sun. The line on a globe north of which the entire area is dark at the time of the December solstice is called the Arctic Circle.
