How to Add Other Holiday Calendars to iCloud Calendar

by Rian

With the Lunar New Year now come and gone, it’s time to prepare for other holidays that will come. Again, the macOS calendar does provide default holiday calendar of the place you are at now; but if you are planning to travel, for example, you might want to add a new calendar for destination. And we would want a calendar that is well maintained and in use, otherwise it might just be useless.

Instructions

Calendars are synchronized across devices bound to same account. From any of the devices you can add the new holiday calendar. Just be mindful that it will not show up on the web version of iCloud.

• On macOS Calendar app, under File > New Holiday Calendar, search for the calendar.
• On iOS Calendar app, from Calendars > Add Calendar > Add Holiday Calendar, search for the calendar.
  

As far as I am aware, iCloud web doesn’t support adding a holiday calendar or displays the subscribed holiday calendars so it has to be done on the device apps.
