Holiday Hours in Apple Maps

Other map platforms (Google) and websites (Yelp) allow business owners to update business hours for holidays. I don't see this as an options in Apple Maps Connect. Is this true or am I missing something?

This looks like an answer without reading the question.

There appears no way in Maps Connect to change the hours for specific days, holidays, that are different from the usual hours. Other mapping sites support this, and actually send out emails before groups of holidays prompting you to review and confirm the special hours.

If there is a way in Maps Connect to do this, it is not obvious which is why the original poster asked the question and why I came here looking.

Changing regular hours to reflect the holiday hours is not an acceptable way to accomplish this as it might give the first time visitor the impression you are always closed on that day of the week. That plus any lag in updating the listing makes timing the update to correspond to a particular week difficult.

Hi, thanks for the response. I know you can change your business hours in Apple maps. I logged into it before asking this question. Google allows you to change hours on specific dates coming up such as Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day etc on specific dates temporarily. There doesn’t seem to be this option just an option to change hours on a weekly basis. Is there a way to go ahead to specific dates instead of just weekly then having to change back the following week?
