on the vacation vs On vacation

Both "on the vacation" and "on vacation" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "On vacation" is the more common and natural way to express that someone is currently taking time off from work or school. On the other hand, "on the vacation" could be used when referring to a specific vacation that has been previously mentioned or is known to both the speaker and the listener.
