First:
Koreans don't work on the day before seol, the day of seol and the day after seol, total 3 days.
Koreans don't work on the day before seol, the day of seol and the day after seol, totalling 3 days.
Seol = holiday = 3 days = a 3-day holiday (similar to a 50 year old man/2 year old child, etc.)
Happy Seol...

We use "this" with singular nouns.
We use "there" with plural nouns.
Holiday: singular (because you are referring to one celebration even if it last 3 days)
days: plural
So you will use either:
this holiday
these days

You could call it a holiday or break.
You could also say "three days off"!
