The year 2021 is just a few days away and everyone is excited and hopeful for all the good changes and blessings the new year has in store for everybody.

No one is sure yet when things will go back to the “old normal” or when the COVID-19 vaccines will arrive in the country, but people can still plan how to spend the holidays in 2021.

If things remain as they are, then people can use the holidays to simply relax at home and get that much-needed break from work or school.

They can binge-watch their favorite K-Dramas, indulge in their favorite food, pursue new hobbies and interests, or treat themselves to a do-it-yourself at-home spa treatment.

Or, if they're able to, maybe they can “travel in bubbles” to scenic or serene tourist spots for a wonderful vacation.

Whatever the scenario may be in 2021, everyone will surely find a way to make the most of the holidays.

So, if you want to plan your year ahead, below is a list of the declared holidays that you can refer to.
