Bridge day check
Falls on a Thursday. Book the Friday off and you get a four-day weekend — the classic bridge day.
Book off 25 Dec 2026 for 4 days off.
What the day is for
Juleaften is the main event — the roast, the tree, the dancing around it and the almond in the rice pudding. Christmas Day is the quiet recovery.
Do shops and banks close?
Offices close at lunchtime or earlier; supermarkets shut early afternoon.
Getting around
Services wind down sharply from mid-afternoon.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
