What the numbers say
In 2026, Cuba has 9 nationwide public holidays and Mexico has 7, so Cuba gets 2 more days off. They line up on 3 dates, including Triunfo de la Revolución, Día de los trabajadores and Navidad.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Cuba has 6 on working days (3 fall on a weekend), against 7 for Mexico (0 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Cuba offers 5 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 1 possible bridge day (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Mexico offers 5 and 1. They're level on bridge days. The busiest month is July in Cuba and January in Mexico.
