You should’ve told your boss about this before he hired you. He most likely hired you for help during the busy christmas season; you’ll be away during the busiest part of it. So, chances are you will have to choose between keeping your job, and going on this vacation. There aren’t any other ways around it.

Hi,
as it was booked before you took the job then they have to honour it and let you go regardless of what you say its for.
They might make you take it as unpaid leave, and may not be too happy about it, but they cannot use it as an excuse to fire you.

Don’t you guys use the ACES program to take days off? I work at VS too and everything like that is done here:

And considering the holidays I am not sure what they will say, but just tell them. The sooner the better!
