Frequently asked questions
How many public holidays does Sweden have in 2025?
Sweden has 13 national public holidays in 2025. The first is New Year's Day on January 1, 2025 and the last is Boxing Day on December 26, 2025.
What is the first public holiday of 2025 in Sweden?
The first public holiday of 2025 is New Year's Day, which falls on January 1, 2025.
When is New Year celebrated in Sweden in 2025?
In 2025, New Year's Day in Sweden is on January 1, 2025.
Are regional holidays included for Sweden?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Sweden are listed separately on the Sweden holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Sweden holiday dates change from 2025 to the next year?
Some of them do. 7 of the 13 holidays in 2025 sit on a moving rule (linked to easter and set weekday of the month), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include Good Friday on April 18, 2025, Easter Sunday on April 20, 2025 and Easter Monday on April 21, 2025, plus 4 more.
How far ahead is the Sweden calendar actually fixed?
Through 2027. The holidays are set in law rather than announced year by year, so the dates repeat predictably. What can still change is a law amendment, a one-off holiday declared for a national event, and the exact day of any holiday on the Islamic calendar, which is confirmed by moon sighting. No corrections to the underlying dataset were needed for Sweden.
Which Sweden holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2025. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The Sweden holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.
