Yes — Pakistan will observe 25 December 2025 as a public holiday nationwide. The day is officially recognized to mark the birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of the country, and also coincides with Christmas, making it a widely observed holiday across Pakistan.
On this date, schools, government offices, banks, and many private institutions will remain closed, as the government has declared it a day off for citizens throughout the country. Financial institutions, including the State Bank and commercial banks, have confirmed closure for routine banking services on that day.
The combined observance of Quaid-e-Azam Day and Christmas means people of different communities recognize the occasion — with national commemorations for Jinnah and festive celebrations for the Christian community. This dual significance has turned 25 December into one of the key public holidays in Pakistan’s annual calendar.
In many provinces, additional holidays have also been announced around this date. For example, some areas have extended break days following December 25 to create a longer holiday period for residents.
If you are planning travel, banking transactions, or government correspondence, it’s advisable to complete necessary tasks before 25 December, as most official services will remain unavailable throughout the holiday.
