Providing for the Closing of Executive Departments and Agencies of the Federal Government on December 24, 2025, and December 26, 2025

Key Points

• Trump orders most federal agencies to close on December 24 and December 26, 2025, giving many federal workers 2 extra days off.
• Some parts of government can still stay open if needed for national security, defense, or other important public needs.
• If you need help from a federal office (like passports, Social Security, or immigration services), you may see closures or slower service around those dates.
• Federal employees’ pay and leave for those days are handled like other federal holiday-related closings, so most workers don’t lose pay.
• The Office of Personnel Management is told to carry out the plan and give agencies guidance on how to apply it.
