Denmark seems to have more school days than Sweden in that it seems like Denmark-residing employees who are parents seem to take fewer “random” days off during the school year than Sweden-residing employees who are parents.
Are Danish primary school hours on a typical day shorter than Swedish primary school hours on a typical day? That can’t be easy to do.
A few lists have Sweden having more national holidays than even Norway, with Norway having even more than Denmark.

It certainly is a national holiday in Norway, and AFAIK in Denmark as well. I actually think that we in Norway have more religious holidays than Sweden, at least Maundy Thursday (the Thursday before Easter) is a national holiday in Norway and not in Sweden.
We have the following National Holidays in Norway:
25, 26 December, January 1, 1. May (Labour Day), 17 . May (Constitution Day), Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Ascencion day (tomorrow), Whitsun Monday

24-26 December, 1 January,, 1 May (half day) 5 June (half day) constitution day, maudy Thursday, good Friday, Easter Monday, prayer day (store bededag) whitsun Monday.
Mainly blue collar companies tend to be closed on May 1st all day where as mainly white collar companies tend to be closed all day June 5th.

Edit: The embassy is closed on Swedish and US holidays, but I guess that doesn’t mean employees get all those days off.

Well maybe it explains why the SAS HKG flight is from CPH and not from ARN. 
Closed to the general public indeed doesn’t mean closed to embassy staff and others but the combination of holidays does also mean less work for some.
But if you want to see where our embassies are closed the most to the public due to the holidays of host and home nation, then check out the US embassy facilities in Sri Lanka and India.

But they are actually up to local agreements in companies in Sweden, not a legally set thing. I assume the same in Norway.
A lot of companies in Denmark close the 31st of December, and even the 27th to 30th of December to the extend that they sre on week days, some put it as forced holidays coming out of the yearly allotment, and some just give extra days off.

Most holidays in Sweden and Norway are the same, but there's a few differences:
- Sweden has 6 January (13th day of Christmas), Midsummer Eve and Midsummer Day, All Saints Eve and All Saints Day.
- Norway has Maundy Thursday and Whit Monday.
- Our national holidays are on different dates: 17/5 versus 6/6.

Sweden is definitely a land where holidays and other days off are the national religion and vacation planning is a national sport.

That number will vary much depending on what days of the week various specific dates will occur: 1 Jan, 6 Jan, 1 May, 6 Jun, and 25-26 Dec.
Also, it's important to note that two Swedish red days always fall on Saturdays: Midsummer Day and All Saints' Day. In 2017, there were "only" 8 red days on Mon-Fri, plus two unofficial red days of Midsummer Eve and All Saints' Eve.

Here in Japan any public holiday falling on a Sunday will become on a Monday. The bank holidays in the UK are the same.

In Copenhagen, it's not all that unusual for an office to have one or more employee living in Sweden. And those Denmark-working-but-Sweden-residing Danish and Swedish employees seem to often have kids in Swedish schools.
