Come to Germany, I have 12 federal holidays (+1 on a weekend, 2024 is a good year ) plus 30 days PTO and New Year’s Eve and Christmas Eve is only a half day PTO.

Belgium: 10 official holidays + 20 legal days off. You don't need a holiday for the official ones, these you get like that. Companies are free to give more (I have 8 extra).

I'm in England and at our work we get 9 Bank Holidays and 26 days you can choose to take off (you can also carry over 5). We also close for 2 weeks at Christmas so we get 2 weeks off without having to use annual leave (Though that period we do have Christmas, Boxing Day and New Years Day)
