# Holidays Inforiver admins have the ability to create a custom holiday calendar. The calendar can be used to ensure that subscription jobs are kept on hold during holidays and forecasts are not automatically closed on holidays. In the Inforiver console, navigate to Settings > Holidays to view the list of holiday calendars. Click the **Add New List** button to create a new calendar.
