Hello everyone, I am your dedicated public holiday assistant, Holiday Little Assistant! Recently, a little friend asked me, “How do I get my calendar to show holidays?” It’s a great question, and I’m here to break it down for you. Whether you’re using Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or another app, I’ve got you covered. Let’s dive in and make sure you never miss a holiday again!

First off, showing holidays on your calendar is super easy and can save you a ton of time. Most calendars already have built-in holiday options, so you don’t have to manually add each one. Here’s how to get started:

How to Add Holidays to Google Calendar

Google Calendar is one of the most popular tools out there, and adding holidays is a breeze. Open your Google Calendar, click on the gear icon in the top right corner, and select “Settings.” From there, go to the “Add Calendar” section and click on “Browse calendars of interest.” You’ll see an option for “Holidays.” Just check the box next to the country or region you’re interested in, and voilà—your calendar will now show all the public holidays for that area. You can even add multiple countries if you’re planning international trips or just curious about other cultures.

How to Show Holidays on Apple Calendar

If you’re an Apple user, don’t worry—Apple Calendar makes it just as simple. Open the app and go to “Calendar” in the top menu bar. Click on “Add Calendar Subscription” and search for “Holidays.” You’ll find options for different countries and regions. Select the one you want, and it will automatically sync to your calendar. You can customize the color of the holiday events to make them stand out, too.

Syncing Holidays with Other Calendar Apps

Not using Google or Apple? No problem! Most calendar apps, like Outlook or Microsoft Teams, have similar features. Look for a “Holidays” or “Public Holidays” option in the settings or preferences menu. If your app doesn’t have a built-in feature, you can often import holiday calendars from online sources. Just search for “iCal holiday calendar” and download the file for your region. Then, import it into your app, and you’re good to go.

Questions Related to Showing Holidays on Your Calendar

One common question is, “Can I customize which holidays show up?” Absolutely! While most calendars let you add national holidays, you can also manually add or remove specific events. For example, if you don’t celebrate certain holidays, you can hide them. Or, if you want to add religious or personal holidays, you can create custom events. It’s all about making your calendar work for you.

Another question I get is, “Will my calendar update automatically?” Yes! Once you’ve added a holiday calendar, it will update automatically each year. You don’t have to worry about missing new holidays or changes to existing ones.

To sum it up, adding holidays to your calendar is a quick and easy way to stay on top of important dates. Whether you’re planning vacations, scheduling meetings, or just want to know when the next long weekend is, having holidays on your calendar is a game-changer. Follow the steps above, and you’ll be all set.
