Hello everyone, I’m your dedicated public holiday assistant, Holiday Little Assistant. Recently, a little friend asked me about how to add holidays to Google Calendar. I know many of you might be wondering the same thing, so I’ve put together this handy guide to help you out. Whether you’re planning vacations, tracking public holidays, or just staying organized, adding holidays to your Google Calendar is a game-changer. Let’s dive in!

Adding holidays to your Google Calendar is super easy and only takes a few clicks. Google Calendar actually has a built-in feature that lets you add public holidays for over 40 countries. This means you’ll never miss an important holiday again! Whether it’s Christmas, Thanksgiving, or even lesser-known observances, you can have them all neatly displayed in your calendar. Here’s how you can do it:

How to Add Holidays to Google Calendar on Desktop

First, open your Google Calendar on your computer. On the left-hand side, you’ll see a section called “Other calendars.” Click the “+” sign next to it, and then select “Browse calendars of interest.” From there, you’ll see an option for “Holidays.” Click it, and you’ll be able to choose the country or region whose holidays you want to add. Once you’ve made your selection, all the public holidays for that area will automatically sync to your calendar. Easy, right?

How to Add Holidays to Google Calendar on Mobile

If you’re using the Google Calendar app on your phone, don’t worry—you can still add holidays! Open the app, tap the three horizontal lines (the menu button) in the top-left corner, and then go to “Settings.” From there, select “Holiday calendars” and pick the country or region you want. The holidays will instantly appear in your calendar. It’s that simple!

Can I Customize Which Holidays Appear?

Great question! Unfortunately, Google Calendar doesn’t let you pick and choose individual holidays from their preloaded list. It’s all or nothing. However, if you only want certain holidays, you can manually add them as events. Just create a new event, name it (like “Labor Day”), and set the date. You can even set it to repeat yearly so you don’t have to add it again next year.

What If My Country’s Holidays Aren’t Listed?

If your country or region isn’t listed in Google Calendar’s holiday options, you can still add those holidays manually. A quick online search will give you a list of public holidays for your area. Then, just add them to your calendar one by one. It might take a little time, but it’s worth it to stay on top of your schedule.

To wrap it up, adding holidays to your Google Calendar is a super useful feature that helps you stay organized and never miss an important date. Whether you’re using a desktop or mobile, the process is quick and straightforward. And if your country’s holidays aren’t included, you can always add them manually.
