Fixed and Easter-based dates should be distinguished from extra rest days created by the annual work-schedule decree.
Bank, office and school arrangements require the applicable authority or institution notice. Missing scope data does not mean open.

Confirmed · Scope: public · Checked 2026-09-27
Hungary’s statutory public holidays are shown with only officially announced transferred rest days. The 2026 regulation adds 2 January, 21 August and 24 December; no unannounced 2027 or 2028 bridge days are predicted.
Public administration normally closes for karácsony másnapja. The annual decree must also be checked for adjacent substituted rest days and compensating Saturdays, while continuous services retain duty staff.
Branches generally close on statutory holidays and decreed non-working weekdays. Electronic banking continues, but ordinary settlement and customer-service deadlines follow the applicable business-day calendar.
Schools do not hold ordinary lessons on the statutory date. Easter and Christmas may sit within longer academic breaks, and a substituted working Saturday can affect institutional schedules.
26 December is the second Christmas public holiday under section 102 of Hungary’s Labour Code. It continues the statutory Christmas period after 25 December.
The holiday affects normal work schedules, but Hungary can create a long weekend by declaring another weekday a rest day and a specified Saturday a working day. That exchanged day is not a second occurrence of Second Day of Christmas.
The second Christmas day continues family visits, meals and religious-season observance. Specific household practices vary, so the public-holiday designation should not be read as prescribing one national programme.
Long weekends created around karácsony másnapja can increase road, rail and spa demand. Verify whether an adjacent Friday or Monday is a decreed rest day and whether the corresponding Saturday operates as a workday.
It is observed on 26 December.
The Hungarian term is karácsony másnapja.
Yes. An annual decree may exchange an adjacent weekday for a working Saturday; that is separate from the statutory holiday itself.
