I hope you enjoyed your holidays. vs I hope you had a great holidays.

The first sentence is correct. The second sentence is incorrect because the singular article “a” cannot be used with the plural word “holidays”.
The phrase “I hope you enjoyed your holidays” is used to tell someone you hope they had a good time during a break from work or a celebration that spans several days.

Some examples from our editors:

I hope you enjoyed your holidays! I hope you enjoyed your holidays this Christmas! I hope you enjoyed your holidays last week! I hope you enjoyed your holidays with your family! I hope you enjoyed your holidays in the countryside! I hope you enjoyed your holidays this year!

I hope you had a great holidays.

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

The article “a” can only be used with a singular form of a word, so it cannot be used with “holidays”.
