Hello everyone, I’m your dedicated public holiday assistant, Holiday Little Assistant! Recently, a little friend reached out to me asking, “How do I add a holiday calendar to Google Calendar?” Great question! Whether you’re planning vacations, scheduling meetings, or just staying organized, having holidays marked on your calendar can be super helpful. Let me walk you through everything you need to know about adding holiday calendars to Google Calendar.

Google Calendar is a fantastic tool for keeping track of important dates, and adding a holiday calendar is super easy. By default, Google Calendar offers built-in holiday calendars for many countries, but you can also customize it to include specific holidays or events. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Open Google Calendar and Access Settings

First, open your Google Calendar on your computer or mobile device. If you’re on a computer, click the gear icon in the top-right corner and select “Settings.” From there, go to the “Add Calendar” section. On mobile, tap the menu button (three horizontal lines) and look for the “Settings” option. This is where the magic begins!

Step 2: Browse Available Holiday Calendars

Under the “Add Calendar” section, you’ll see an option called “Browse calendars of interest.” Click on it, and you’ll find a list of preloaded holiday calendars for different countries and religions. You can select the ones that matter to you, like “United States Holidays” or “Chinese Public Holidays.” Once you check the box next to a calendar, it will automatically sync to your Google Calendar. How cool is that?

Step 3: Customize Your Holiday Calendar

If you want to add specific holidays or events that aren’t included in the default options, you can create a custom calendar. Go to “Add Calendar” and select “Create New Calendar.” Give it a name, like “My Custom Holidays,” and start adding events manually. You can also import holiday calendars from other sources by downloading an ICS file and uploading it to Google Calendar. This is perfect for those who want a personalized touch!
