Christmas break
Wintertime school recess
Christmas break is the school vacation period spanning late December, typically encompassing Christmas and New Year's Day.
In American education, it usually runs one to two weeks, while British schools often call it the Christmas holidays.
The kids are home for Christmas break.
Adults may use the term for their own time off during this period.
