How to Easily Add Public Holidays to Your Samsung Calendar in 3 Simple Steps

Hey folks, it’s your Holiday Little Assistant back with another helpful guide! So recently, one of our readers reached out asking how to pop those important public holidays right into their Samsung calendar. You know, nobody wants to miss out on family time during Thanksgiving or realize last minute that it’s Memorial Day weekend! Let me walk you through this super simple process that’ll have your calendar looking festive in no time.

First things first – let’s talk about why you’d even want to do this. Having holidays automatically marked saves you from those “oops, I totally forgot” moments when planning events or scheduling work stuff. Plus, it helps you stay on top of when banks are closed, when packages won’t be delivered, and when you can actually sleep in without setting an alarm! Most people don’t realize how many different types of holidays there are – federal, state-specific, even cultural observances – and keeping track manually is basically a part-time job.

How Do I Actually Add Holidays to My Samsung Calendar?

Okay, here’s the meat and potatoes of this whole operation. Grab your Samsung phone and let’s get cooking! Start by opening your Samsung Calendar app – that’s the one that usually comes pre-installed with that cute little date icon. Tap the three lines in the top left corner to open the menu, then look for “Manage Calendars.” Now here’s where the magic happens – you’ll see an option for “Holidays” or sometimes “Public Holidays.” Just toggle that switch on and boom! Your calendar will automatically populate with all the major holidays. The coolest part? This usually includes not just U.S. federal holidays but also major religious and cultural events too.

But wait, there’s more! What if you want to add some local flavor or specific holidays that might not be included? No worries – you can manually add any holiday by just tapping the plus sign to create a new event. Pro tip: set these as “all day” events and make them repeat yearly so you only have to enter them once. You can even color-code them – maybe red for federal holidays, green for observances, and blue for personal important dates. How’s that for organization?

What If My Samsung Calendar Doesn’t Show the Holidays Option?

Great question! Sometimes depending on your region or specific Samsung model, the holidays might be hiding in a slightly different spot. If you don’t see that handy “Holidays” toggle, try going into your phone’s Settings > Accounts and Backup > Manage Accounts. Make sure your Google account or Samsung account is properly synced, because that’s often where the holiday data comes from. Another trick is to check if you need to update your calendar app through the Galaxy Store – sometimes new holiday sets come with software updates.

If you’re still hitting roadblocks, don’t sweat it! You can always add holiday calendars through your Google Calendar on desktop, and they’ll sync right over to your Samsung phone. Just head to calendar.google.com on your computer, click the plus sign next to “Other calendars,” and browse through the extensive holiday collections Google offers. They’ve got everything from US Federal Holidays to Hindu festivals and even sports seasons!

我可以自定义显示哪些假期吗？

Absolutely! You’re the boss of your own calendar, after all. When you turn on the holiday calendar, you might notice it includes some holidays that aren’t relevant to you. The beauty of most Samsung calendars is that you can usually long-press on individual holidays to delete them, or better yet – you can often select specific holiday sets. For example, you might want only federal holidays plus your specific religious holidays rather than getting every single observance under the sun.

Here’s a neat trick I discovered – if you celebrate holidays from multiple cultures or have family in different countries, you can actually add multiple holiday calendars! Just go back to that “Manage Calendars” section and you might see options for different countries’ holidays. This is perfect for multicultural families or anyone with international business contacts. Imagine having Diwali, Chinese New Year, and Thanksgiving all neatly marked without lifting a finger!

Will This Work on All Samsung Devices?

For the most part, yes! Whether you’re rocking the latest Galaxy S23 or still loving your trusty older model, the process is pretty similar across Samsung devices. The main difference might be in the exact wording of menu options, but the general flow remains the same. If you’re using a Samsung tablet instead of a phone, you’ll find the calendar works exactly the same way. The only exception might be very old devices that are no longer receiving software updates – but even then, the manual adding method always works like a charm.
