Aktīva karadarbība Rīgas frontē atsākās 1916. gada 21. martā, kad 1. un 2. latviešu strēlnieku bataljoni pārrāva vācu nocietinātās pozīcijas pie Rīgas-Bauskas šosejas Ķekavas apkārtnē, bet lielāks Krievijas karaspēka uzbrukums nesekoja. Kaujas pie Ķekavas atsākās 16.-22. jūlijā, kurās pirmo reizi piedalījās visi latviešu bataljoni, izņemot 5. Zemgales latviešu strēlnieku bataljonu, kas cīnījās pie Olaines un 3. Kurzemes latviešu strēlnieku bataljonu, kas cīnījās Nāves salā.

The Christmas Battles (Latvian:Ziemassvētku kaujas; German:Aa-Schlachten; Russian:Митавская операция) were offensive operations of the Russian army during World War I in the area of Jelgava, Latvia, by the 12th Army of the Northern Front. They took place from December 23 (January 5) untill December 29 (January 11) 1916 (1917). The Army was commanded by Gen. Radko Dimitriev; it was opposed by the 8th German Army. The battles took place in a swampy region, Tīreļpurvs (Tīrelis swamp), between Lake Babīte and Jelgava. The main assault force was the VI Siberian Rifle Corps which included two Latvian Rifleman brigades. Incompetence of Russian high command leaded to disastrous events in the Army. A month later February revolution begun.
