Most US businesses close New Year's Eve afternoon and New Year's Day. Some extend through January 2 or even 3. The OOO should specify exact dates including return — 'back January 6' is more useful than 'back next week.' Five templates below.
'Hi — I'm out this afternoon for New Year's Eve, back January 2. For urgent matters: [backup] at [email]. Otherwise I'll respond January 2. Happy New Year.'
'Hi — I'm out December 31 and January 1 for the New Year holiday. For urgent matters: [backup]. I'll respond January 2. Happy New Year.'
'Hi — our office is closed from December 25 through January 2 for the holidays. We'll respond to your email when we return on January 3. For urgent matters during this window: [backup]. Wishing you a peaceful close to the year.'
'Hi — I'm out for an extended winter break through [January date]. For urgent matters: [backup]. I'll respond to your email when I return.'
'Hi — I'm out through [date] for the New Year break. For urgent matters: [URL] (routes to the right person immediately). For everything else, I'll respond when I'm back.'
