Christmas Eve and New Years Eve are not Legal Public Holidays. They are business days under Regulation CC whether your bank is open or not. So, they are counted for the purpose of determining when funds from deposited checks must be made available.
For example, if a customer deposits a $10,000 check that is not a next-day check on Thursday, December 23, your bank is not a next-day availability bank, and you place a large deposit hold, you will have to make $225 available by the morning of December 24, another $5,300 by the morning of December 27, and the balance of $4,475 by Monday, January 3.
