The 2025 holiday calendar in the Netherlands includes a mix of national public holidays and observances. Several of these holidays are widely recognized across the country, with mandatory closures for businesses and schools on key national holidays such as New Year’s Day, King’s Birthday, Liberation Day (every five years, including 2025), Ascension Day, and both Christmas Day and Second Day of Christmas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other holidays like Good Friday and Easter Monday are significant but not necessarily mandatory for all employers. Meanwhile, observances such as Valentine’s Day and St Nicholas’ Eve are widely celebrated but optional for closures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the complete calendar for 2025:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
