But one of them will have to be worked off.

December 2025 prepares a small but very nice present for the residents of Belarus - four days off in a row. But, as it usually happens, it won't be free - one of the days will have to work on Saturday. The details told in the Ministry of Labor.

On Thursday, December 25, the country celebrates Catholic Christmas - an official day off. And so that the festive mood does not end too soon, Friday, December 26, will also be off.

Saturday and Sunday - by tradition - rest.

Total: 25, 26, 27 and 28 December - days off.

But one of them will have to work: Friday, December 26, moved to Saturday, December 20.

What if during this period you are on vacation?

If a vacation falls on December 26, you can rest easy on December 20 - the working Saturday in this case "does not count".

But if a person is on a business trip or in training, then Saturday, December 20, automatically becomes a working day.

What about New Year's Eve?

2026 will also start with a long weekend. January 1 and 2 fall on Thursday and Friday, so we will again have four consecutive days off.

The first working week will be short: January 7, Orthodox Christmas, is a day off.
