Trump Closes Federal Government on Christmas Eve, Dec. 26 in New Executive Order

President Trump’s order closes federal offices on Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas in 2025, allowing some exceptions for national security and public needs.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing federal government offices to close on Dec. 24 and Dec 26 for 2025, applying only to this year.
  • The move follows precedent as previous presidents have sometimes granted Christmas Eve off, allowing federal workers to spend the day with family without using leave.
  • Because Christmas Eve is not a regular holiday, agency heads may keep offices open for national security, defense and other public need, and employees should check the Office of Personnel Management website for updates.
  • The move aligns with past presidential choices, as Donald Trump previously declared Christmas Eve a federal holiday in 2019 and 2020, with agency heads able to keep offices open for public need in 2025.
  • OPM's official holiday calendar shows Christmas Day as a federal holiday but excludes Christmas Eve, making Trump's 2025 closure order a temporary adjustment.
