- For many, this effectively creates a five-day holiday break, including Christmas Day and the weekend."All executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government shall be closed and their employees excused from duty on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, and Friday, December 26, 2025, the day before and the day following Christmas Day, respectively," the order stated.
- This marks the first time in recent years that federal employees have received two extra days off around the holiday.
