Two cases:
A small shop has three company holidays identical to the communal school holidays in winter, spring and autumn and the last two weeks of summer holiday.

A bakery has Opening houers that are also open on holidays except between xmas and new year where they have closed.

How do I tag those?

Depending on which editor you use, the opening hours usually have a value entry editor that allows you to define:
Closed on school holidays
opening_hours=...; SH off → closed during school holidays
It can be used together with PH (public holidays) if that’s the case
Different hours and days during school holidays
opening_hours=...; SH Mo-Sa 09:00-12:00 → open monday to saturday 9:00 to 12:00 during school holidays, as an exception to regular schedule

Now to your specific scenario:

  • Regarding the small shop, if it’s just those three days and not every SH day and those three days are not subject to change (e.g. “Dec 25th” and “first Sunday of November” are not subject to change) you could add them explicitly as off days. Otherwise I would approximate to SH off and maybe write a description or use text form for complex situations;
  • Regarding the bakery, I would write Dec 25 - Jan 1 off in addition to the regular opening hours.

Reminder that SH and PH needs to be defined in a library for them to actually work GitHub - opening-hours/opening_hours.js: Library to parse and process the opening_hours tag from OpenStreetMap data
Therefore as you said, if they are specific dates, better add them directly. No need to use SH unless necessary.
