Extra paid federal days off around Christmas 2025

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

Key Points

Most federal government offices close on December 24 and 26, 2025, giving many workers two extra days off with pay
Some federal workers still have to work those days if their jobs are needed for safety, defense, or other urgent public needs
The days off are treated like regular federal holiday time for pay and leave, so workers are not financially penalized
The main impact is on federal services, which may be slower or unavailable on those two days for the public
This order does not change any long-term laws or holidays; it only applies to these specific dates in 2025
