2025 New Year Holidays Bring a Rare 12-Day Winter Break
The New Year in 2025 brings an extended holiday season, with a total of 12 non-working days. This includes January 1 to January 11 and December 31, 2025. It's the longest winter storm break in many years, last seen in 2004-2005.
The last working week of December 2025 will be unusually short, with only December 29 and 30 being working days. This is a significant change from the typical 57-58 working days in December, January, and February. The longest winter on record was in 2013-2014, with 59 working days.
In contrast, the Russian government implemented the shortest winter working hours in many years in 2023.
The extended New Year holidays in 2025 will provide a longer break for workers, with the last such occurrence being over a decade ago. The coming winter will have fewer working days than usual, with the last week of December being particularly short.
