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
