It will appear about 7 per cent larger and 15 per cent brighter, although the difference is barely noticeable to the human eye, the BBC reported.
December's full moon is traditionally known as the "cold moon".
The full moon on Sunday night marks the first and only supermoon of 2017.
According to NASA, a supermoon is a Moon that is full when it is also at or near its closest point in its orbit around Earth.
Since the Moon's orbit is elliptical, one side (apogee) is about 50,000 km farther from Earth than the other (perigee).
But within this orbit, further variations can be caused by the Earth's movements around the Sun.
These mean that the perigee - the closest approach - and full moon are not always in sync.
But the occasions when the perigee and full moon coincide have become known as supermoons.
NASA has said that Sunday's supermoon is first in a series of three supermoons. The next two will appear on January 1 and 31, 2018.
In 2016, the Moon made its closest approach to Earth since 1948. It won't be that close again until November 25, 2034.
The full Moon of December is known as the Cold Moon in the northern hemisphere because of the prevailing cold weather in the region. During the spectacular lunar event, the moon will appear like bright orange.
Date and time
The Cold Moon will appear 100 per cent in the Indian skies on December 30 at around 9 PM. In North America, the full Moon will be visible on December 29. The full Moon will appear on the eastern horizon about 15-20 minutes after the moonrise time.
Why Cold Moon Look Orange ?
At the time of moonrise, the reflected sunlight is seen by the observer on Earth. This sunlight reaches the observer after passing through the Earth’s atmosphere. What actually happens is that light towards the blue end of the spectrum scatters on particles due to shorter wavelengths. On the other hand, light towards the red end of the spectrum travels through the atmosphere without much scattering because of longer wavelengths. As a result of this, moonrise appears to be bright orange, turning to a pale yellow as it rises, then finally to a bright white orb.
