You can disable sets of dates by the following methods:

   picker.set('disable', [

      // Using a collection of arrays formatted as [YEAR,MONTH,DATE]
      [2016,9,3], [2016,9,9], [2016,9,20],

      // Using JavaScript Date objects
      new Date(2015,9,13), new Date(2015,9,24)
    ])

Please refer this link http://amsul.ca/pickadate.js/api/#method-set-disable-enable

You can pass an array of disabled dates like this:

var datesToDisable = [ 1, 4, 7, [2015,3,8], [2015,3,19], new Date(2015,3,26) ]


$( '.new_leave_datepicker' ).pickadate({
    selectMonths: true,
    selectYears: 25,
    disable: datesToDisable,
    min: Date.now()
});

You can use jquery-ui datepicker. There is a method named noWeekends.

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
   beforeShowDay: $.datepicker.noWeekends
});

But there is no documentation for National holidays. You have to customize the datepicker options.
