Highly unlikely. Best bet is to try and switch rest days around.

If it’s in December highly likely to be in the period where no one is allowed to take annual leave.

You can't have time off when it's 'Christmas Pressure' (usually last week in November till Christmas). The weeks are blacked off in our office nobody can have them.
