Depending how you might define "easy"... but by my definition, for sure!

You can edit the .planner file, which is just XML, with your favourite text
editor and make the changes by hand in a much more straightforward version.

Here is my suggestion.

First make a test .planner file with a couple of activities linked to a
custom calendar.  In that custom calendar, define a couple of holidays
(maybe Christmas and New Year's day, doesn't really matter).

Save the file, quit from planner, then use your text editor to look at the
file.  Near the front of the file, you will see XML types  <day-types> and
also your custom calendar definition <calendar id=3D"2" name=3D"...">

Within that custom calendar definition you will see the holidays you
defined, looking something like <day date=3D"20150101" type=3D"day-type"
id=3D"1"/>

All you have to do at that point is copy/paste a bunch of new <day ... />
definitions with your chosen holiday dates and save the file.  Check it by
opening your plan.

Also, I have created a .planner file that is nothing but calendar and
resources; I use that to create new projects.  So you should only need to
do that work once for all of your projects within a given organizational
structure.

I hope this is clear; ask for more details if not.
