The Holidays tab lets you select a country and automatically block bookings on its public holidays — no need to create a date override or out of office entry for each one. You can opt out of individual holidays you don’t observe.

​
When to use it

Use holidays when you want bookings to be blocked on national or public holidays without managing each date manually. Common use cases:
  • Solo users who close their calendar on national holidays
  • Teams that want to standardise time off around public holidays
  • Anyone who wants holidays kept up to date year over year without manual edits

​
Set your country

  1. Go to Settings → My account → Out of office.
  2. Open the Holidays tab.
  3. Select your country from the dropdown. Use the search box to filter the list.
Once a country is selected, Cal.com pulls the public holidays for that country and shows them in a list with each holiday’s name and date.

​
Enable or disable individual holidays

Each holiday has a switch next to it. Turn it off to allow bookings on that day, or back on to block it. Changes save immediately. This is useful if you observe most national holidays but still work on a few of them — for example, keeping Black Friday open while blocking Thanksgiving.

​
Booking conflict warnings

If you select a country (or change countries) and there are existing confirmed bookings that fall on the newly enabled holidays, a warning appears at the top of the page listing the affected holidays and the number of bookings on each. Existing bookings are not cancelled automatically — review the warning and reschedule or cancel any that conflict with your new holiday settings.

​
Change or clear your country

  • To switch countries, open the country dropdown and pick a new one. The previous country’s holidays are removed and replaced.
  • To stop blocking holidays entirely, open the country dropdown and select Clear.
