Questions Related to Adding Holidays to Outlook 2013

Can I add custom holidays to my Outlook 2013 calendar?
Absolutely! If there are specific holidays or events you want to add that aren’t included in the default list, you can manually create them. Just open your calendar, select the date, and create a new event. Label it as a holiday and save it. Easy peasy!

Yep! Outlook 2013 allows you to add holidays from multiple countries or regions. Just repeat the steps above and select additional countries from the list. Your calendar will show holidays from all the locations you’ve chosen.

Will these holidays sync with other devices?
If you’re using Outlook 2013 with an Exchange account or have your calendar synced to other devices (like your phone), the holidays you add will sync across all your devices. That way, you’ll always have your holiday info handy, no matter where you are.

What if I’m using a newer version of Outlook?
The process is pretty similar in newer versions of Outlook, but the interface might look a little different. If you’re using Outlook 2016, 2019, or Microsoft 365, you can still follow these steps with minor adjustments.
