TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - As we look ahead to 2025, it's just around the corner! In two months, we'll welcome the new year and a new calendar full of holidays. Specifically, there will be 11 holidays and four long weekends in 2025.
To make the most of these holidays, it's wise to plan ahead, especially if you're planning a trip or getaway. Citing Seedly, here's a breakdown of Singapore's public holidays in 2025:
2025 Public Holidays Guide
New Year’s Day
Falls on: Wednesday, Jan 1, 2025.
Leaves to take:
- Monday, Dec 30, 2024 (optional)
- Tuesday, Dec 31, 2024 (optional)
- Thursday, Jan 2, 2025
- Friday, Jan 3, 2025
As New Year's Day falls on Wednesday, you can take two leaves before the festive celebration. To maximize the one-year moment, it is also considerable to take another two leaves afterward on January 2–3.
Chinese New Year

Leaves to take:
- Monday, Jan 27, 2025

The best time to use your leaves in 2025 is during the Chinese New Year. With just three leaves, you can enjoy a full nine days off, Saturday-Sunday, Jan 25-Feb 2, 2025. It is highly recommended to plan an overseas trip but be prepared for higher accommodation costs and busier situations.
