A different kind of holiday season for federal workers this year ЁЯЗ║ЁЯЗ╕
This Christmas comes with a bonus break for many federal employees. On December 18, 2025, Donald J. Trump signed an executive order making Christmas Eve (Dec 24) and the day after Christmas (Dec 26) federal holidays тАФ on top of Christmas Day itself.
That means most federal offices will be closed on all three days, creating a smooth five-day holiday stretch around Christmas ЁЯОБтЬи
However, itтАЩs not a universal day off. Agency leaders can still require staff to work if duties involve national security, defense, or critical public services.
Extra time to recharge for many тАФ business as usual for some. Either way, this yearтАЩs holiday calendar looks a little different.
