In Canada, Christmas Day (Dec. 25) Boxing Day (Dec. 26) and New Year’s Day (Jan. 1) are considered statutory holidays, with most employers either giving workers the day off or paying overtime for those required to work.

Christmas Eve (Dec. 24) is not a statutory holiday but some businesses will either close or shorten their operating hours that day.
