Barnsley played out a 0-0 stalemate against West Brom last Friday and are now finished for Christmas.
The team will miss out on the usual Boxing Day fixture as their match against Stoke City has been postponed due to Covid-19, meaning they are currently set for a total of eight days off over the festive period.
Their next Championship tie will be a trip to Blackburn next Wednesday evening – their final match of the year.
