How Can I Setup My V2.25 Store To A Vacation Mode

Instead of Close Storefront, I would like to set up my store to a vacation mode so that customers can see on the product and checkout pages what dates I will be away.

I need this for a store running version 2.2.5.

Pay attention to the Catalog Mode module.

Or if you want to let them checkout but just want to advise them that you won't process their order till some date, create an html block in layout manager and put it on the checkout page. Nice bright background and large notification text would work and you might lose fewer sales.
