The script
(Holiday break)Thank you for calling [Company]. Our office is closed for the holidays from [Start Date] through [End Date], and we'll reopen on [Reopen Date]. Please leave a message, and we'll return your call when we're back. From all of us at [Company], happy holidays.
(Single-day closure)Hello, and thank you for calling [Company]. We're closed today, [Date], in observance of [Holiday]. We'll be back at [Opening Time] tomorrow. Please leave a message after the tone, and we'll call you back. Have a wonderful day.

Practise it now
The teleprompter scrolls at the speed you set in words per minute. Tick "Record audio while reading" to capture a take; the audio stays in your browser until you download it.
Coaching notes
- Three dates in one sentence is a lot. Give '[Reopen Date]' the most weight, because it's the one callers actually need.
- 'From all of us at [Company], happy holidays' is the warmest line. Smile on it and slow down slightly, like you're waving from the door.
- In the single-day version, keep 'in observance of [Holiday]' simple and respectful, then lift back into a friendly tone for 'Have a wonderful day.'
Try it three more ways
- Read it for a cheerful family-run shop.
- Read it for a formal bank or law office: warm but restrained.
- Read it as if you're recording it on the last afternoon before the break, a little giddy but still professional.
