Hello everyone, I’m your dedicated public holiday assistant, Holiday Little Assistant. Recently, one of my little friends reached out to me with a question that’s been bugging them: how to add holidays back to Google Calendar. If you’ve ever noticed that holidays suddenly disappeared from your Google Calendar, don’t worry—you’re not alone! Today, I’ll walk you through the steps to get those holidays back and make sure you never miss another important day. Let’s dive in!

Google Calendar is a fantastic tool for keeping track of your schedule, but sometimes it can be a little tricky to figure out how to customize it exactly the way you want. One common issue is when holidays, which are usually pre-loaded into the calendar, suddenly vanish. This can happen for a variety of reasons, like accidentally disabling the holiday calendar or syncing issues. But don’t sweat it—I’ve got your back. Here’s how to fix it.

Why Did Holidays Disappear from My Google Calendar?

Before we get into the solution, let’s talk about why this happens in the first place. Holidays on Google Calendar are part of a built-in calendar that you can toggle on or off. Sometimes, during updates or changes to your account settings, this feature might get turned off without you realizing it. Other times, it could be due to syncing issues between devices or even a glitch in the system. Whatever the reason, the good news is that it’s super easy to fix.

How to Add Holidays Back to Google Calendar

Ready to get those holidays back? Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Open Google Calendar on your computer or mobile device. If you’re on a computer, head to calendar.google.com. On mobile, open the Google Calendar app.

2. Look for the settings menu. On the computer, it’s the gear icon in the top right corner. On mobile, tap the three horizontal lines (the hamburger menu) in the top left corner.

3. Select “Settings” or “Settings and sharing” depending on your device.

4. Scroll down to the section labeled “Add calendar” or “Other calendars.” You’ll see an option that says “Browse calendars of interest.” Click on that.

5. In the list that pops up, find the section for holidays. You’ll see options for different countries and regions. Select the one that applies to you (for example, “United States Holidays”).

6. Once you’ve selected the holiday calendar, it will automatically sync to your Google Calendar. You should now see all the holidays listed again!

If you’re using the mobile app, the process is pretty similar. Just make sure you’re signed into the correct Google account and follow the prompts to add the holiday calendar back.

What If Holidays Still Don’t Show Up?

If you’ve followed all the steps and the holidays still aren’t appearing, there might be a deeper issue. Try these troubleshooting tips:

– Make sure you’re using the correct Google account. Sometimes, people have multiple accounts and might be logged into the wrong one.

– Check your internet connection. A weak or unstable connection can sometimes prevent the calendar from syncing properly.

– Clear your browser cache or restart the Google Calendar app. This can often resolve minor glitches.

– If all else fails, try removing the holiday calendar and adding it back again. Sometimes a fresh start does the trick.

And there you have it! Adding holidays back to your Google Calendar is a quick and easy process. Whether you’re planning ahead for vacation days or just want to stay on top of important dates, having holidays visible on your calendar is a game-changer.
