New Year’s holidays in 2022 are provided for Catholic and Orthodox Christmas and New Year’s – there will be a lot of weekends.
New Year’s holidays are a chance for Ukrainians not to stay at home, but to go on vacation or visit their relatives. On New Year’s holidays, there will be additional weekends for three weeks in a row. The first day off awaits us on Catholic Christmas – this is an important holiday for our country, because more than 5% of Ukrainians are Catholics.
UNIAN will tell you how many days off we will get and how best to plan your vacation for the holidays.

Ukrainians will receive their first day off at the end of December for Catholic Christmas. The feast of the birth of Christ falls on Saturday, December 25, so the day off is postponed to the next working day – monday 27 december… Thus, the Ukrainians will rest for three days in a row – from 25 to 27 December.
Next weekend will also be extended in honor of the New Year. January 1 falls on Saturday, so the non-working day will again be postponed to Monday. Days from 1 to 3 January.

On January 7, Orthodox Christians will celebrate Christmas. In 2022, it falls on Friday, so the day off does not translate. Thus, the weekend for Orthodox Christmas will last from 7 to 9 January… And in the first week of January we will only work for 3 days.
