Extra paid federal days off around Christmas 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
