# Australia & United States: when can you both take time off in 2026?

> Australia and United States can both be off 2026-12-25 to 2026-12-27 — 3 days, with no leave at all — it falls on public holidays and weekends.

## How this works

We line up both countries' national public holidays for the year and find the calendar window you can share for the least combined leave, at a fixed 15-day budget each — a like-for-like yardstick, not your real budget.
