I hope you enjoyed your holidays.

This phrase is correct.

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!

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • I hope you had a great time on your vacation.
  • I hope you enjoyed your time off.
  • I hope you had a wonderful holiday.
  • I hope you had a blast during your holidays.
  • I hope you had a fantastic time during your break.
  • I hope you enjoyed your break.

I hope you had a great holidays.

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

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

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • I hope you had a great holiday.
  • I hope you had a wonderful holiday.
  • I hope you had a fantastic holiday.
  • I hope you had a marvelous holiday.
  • I hope you had a splendid holiday.
  • I hope you had an excellent holiday.
The first sentence is correct. The second sentence is incorrect because the singular article “a” cannot be used with the plural word “holidays”.
