    Easter does not appear as a U.S. holiday because Outlook only adds the holidays that are included in the holiday calendar for the selected country or region. For Outlook on the web and Outlook.com, U.S. holidays are added by going to Calendar > Add calendar > Holidays and selecting the country or region. If Easter is not included in that holiday set, it will not appear automatically as a U.S. holiday entry.

    If automatic holiday updates are needed, use the holidays calendar in Outlook on the web instead of manually imported holidays. In Outlook on the web:

    1. Go to Calendar.
    2. Select Add calendar.
    3. Select Holidays.
    4. Select the holiday calendar to add.

    If holidays were previously imported another way, duplicates can occur, and removing older imported holidays may be necessary.

    Hi!

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Easter might not be visible because the U.S. holidays schedule in Outlook does not always include all religious holidays. The list of holidays included in the Outlook program itself could differ based on the version and calendar in use.

    The standard U.S. federal holidays you should expect to see includes the following:

    New Year's Day — January 1

    Martin Luther King Jr. Day — third Monday in January

    Washington's Birthday (Presidents' Day) — third Monday in February

    Memorial Day — last Monday in May

    Juneteenth National Independence Day — June 19

    Independence Day — July 4

    Labor Day — first Monday in September

    Columbus Day — second Monday in October

    Veterans Day — November 11

    Thanksgiving Day — fourth Thursday in November

    Christmas Day — December 25
