Add Holidays to Your Outlook Calendar

You’re not the first to accidentally schedule a meeting on Whit Monday or Ascension Day. You can easily avoid this by adding all public holidays to your Outlook calendar.

Outlook has a built-in feature to add holidays automatically.

Add Holidays for Multiple Countries at Once

You can also perform this action for multiple countries in one go, which is useful if you have contacts across different regions.
