Well the holidays and a new year are right around the corner. I started thinking about updating holidays on my calendar for 2014. If you're still manually adding holidays to your calendar, I'm here to tell you there's a better way and it's easy too.

This is a quick guide to show you how to add US Holidays to your native calendar. First, go to Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

Next, tap on Add Account

Scroll down and tap on Other

Now tap on Add Subscribed Calendar

Next, in the Server field type in
Webcal://files.apple.com/calendars/US32Holidays.ics


Press next and then press save.

Now press Done. That's it. You have now added US Holidays to your native calendar.

Let's check to verify the calendar is there. Open your calendar, tap on calendar. Under subscribed you should see your new calendar US Holidays.

I hope this helps everyone whose been manually adding holidays to their calendars. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everybody!!

Yep. I did that a while back. Then a new update added them. So then I had them in the calendar twice. Had to make some adjustments. I think one had more "holidays" than the other. Not sure. But they only show once now. I actually use the ones I entered in settings as shown here.
