I found that the latest holidays are missing from my calendar. I checked for updates but none are there and manually trying to install the latest holiday updates gives an error that the update is already installed or does not apply to my system.

How can I get the latest holidays to show up?

After applying updates that contain new holiday information, the newly included holidays are not directly added to your Calendar. You’ll have to reselect the option to include the holidays for a specific country in your Calendar.

To prevent duplicates, it is recommended that you delete the currently imported holidays from your Calendar before importing the holidays again.

Remove current holidays

The easiest way to remove previously imported holidays from your Calendar is via the “By Category” view;

  • Outlook 2007
    View-> Current View-> By Category
  • Outlook 2010 / 2013 / 2016 / 2019 / Office 365 (Classic Ribbon)
    1. View-> Change View-> List
    2. In the Arrangement group select: Categories
  • Office 365 (Single Line Ribbon)
    1. View-> Change View-> List
    2. Arrange By-> Categories

Now you can easily select all the items that have the Holiday category (by clicking on the Holiday group header) and delete them all at once. If you use SHIFT+Delete to delete them, you’ll skip the Delete Items folder and permanently delete them.


Deleting all Holidays at once is easy via a By Category sorted view.

Import new holidays

To import the new holidays you can reselect the option for the holidays of your country in the Add Holidays… dialog;

Holidays
  • Outlook 2007
    Tools-> Options…-> button: Calendar Options…-> button: Add Holidays…
  • Outlook 2010 / 2013 / 2016 / 2019 / Office 365
    File-> Options-> section: Calendar-> group: Calendar Options-> button: Add Holidays…

  • All versions(standalone hol-file)

    Includes holidays to 2028

Note: The standalone hol-file can be used with all Outlook versions and not just Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 as the download page might suggest. See below for more information on how to import the holidays included in the hol-file.

Manual holiday updates (hol- files)

Outlook holiday files have the .hol extension. If you have an updated hol-file that you wish to use with Outlook, then you can simply double click it to to launch the “Add Holidays to Calendar” dialog. You can use this method for instance to import holiday updates or custom holidays or vacation lists provided by your company.

When you create a hol-file of your own, make sure you save it in the Unicode format (use the Save As… option when using Notepad).


When you have an updated holidays file (.hol),
you can double click on it to directly open it with
Outlook and select which holidays to import.
