This is the first listed date for this year; a separate observance date has not been assigned.

About Christmas Day

Christmas Day in Indonesia. Nationwide public-holiday dates are distinct from collective leave and local observances.

Indonesia separates national public holidays (hari libur nasional) from collective leave (Cuti Bersama). This calendar, its long-weekend planner, PDF and ICS contain national public holidays only. Collective leave is not an automatic statutory public holiday for every employee; private employers determine its application, and applicable leave rules may deduct annual leave.

Joint Ministerial Decree national holidays 2027

Confirmed · Scope: public · Checked 2026-10-01

National public holiday scheduled in the dated Joint Ministerial Decree. Nationwide scope. Cuti Bersama is separate and excluded from public-holiday totals, planner and exports. No automatic Monday substitute.

Office arrangements

Indonesia separates national public holidays (hari libur nasional) from collective leave (Cuti Bersama). This calendar, its long-weekend planner, PDF and ICS contain national public holidays only. Collective leave is not an automatic statutory public holiday for every employee; private employers determine its application, and applicable leave rules may deduct annual leave.

No future Cuti Bersama dates are invented. Collective leave is described separately and is excluded from the planner and exports.

Bank arrangements

Bank Indonesia and individual bank operating notices govern payment and branch services; essential services may roster staff on holidays.

School arrangements

Public holidays do not define school-term breaks. Verify school and provincial education calendars separately.

History

Legal basis: Presidential Decree 8/2024. Annual schedules: 2026 SKB, 19 September 2025 and 2027 SKB, 15 September 2026. Checked 1 October 2026.

Why it matters

The official 2026 decree schedules 17 national holiday days. The official 2027 decree schedules 18, including Isra Mi’raj twice, on 5 January and 26 December. Official 2027 Islamic dates are decree schedules subject to subsequent isbat determinations. No official 2028 decree was located: fixed and Christian rule-based dates are supported; lunar, Islamic, Nyepi and Vesak projections remain provisional.

Observance

Churches hold Christmas services, and families gather for meals and visits. Customs vary across Indonesia's regions and Christian communities.

Travel and planning

Nyepi is a national public holiday, with additional Balinese restrictions and airport closures. Galungan, Kuningan and local observances are not nationwide holidays. Recheck provisional dates and transport operating notices.

Frequently asked questions

Does the planner count Cuti Bersama?

No. It counts national public holidays and the selected weekend only.

Are weekend holidays moved to Monday?

No general automatic substitute is assumed.

Are future dates final?

2027 uses the official decree schedule; Islamic religious determinations may subsequently change. Movable 2028 dates remain provisional pending the official decree.
