Trump makes Christmas Eve, Boxing day federal holidays for 2025

by

Some federal workers will have a longer holiday break this year. In an executive order issued Thursday, President Trump declared that Christmas Eve and Dec. 26 will be federal holidays this year, meaning that federal departments and agencies will be closed.

As noted in the order, agencies may require certain employees to work on those dates if necessary for national security or other public needs. The order also does not change any existing laws. To establish a permanent federal holiday — which Christmas already is — Congress must pass legislation and then have the president sign it into law.
