Hi project newby ,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

There's no built-in way to do this. If you're not using the Status Date,
you could set it to 25 Dec and use Format/Gridlines... to give it a colour
and style. The only other way is to use the drawing tools to colour a line
or a rectangle and attach it to 25 Dec.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on

Hello,
You can't highlight only one nonworking date, but all the non working dates:
Tools / Change Working Time...
Select december 25th and click the Nonworking time option. / OK
By default, non working times are greyed. You can change the color :
Format / Timescale... / Non-working time
