Is this not the case in most of the world? me and my SO both work in areas in which have to operate 24/7. (healthcare & telecom). Usually, you either arrange this far in advance with your team. (My SO has to give in her holiday period preference for summer atleast a year in advance) or you manage it with coworkers (my case, so atleast one of our team is present during the summer months). Working during the peak holiday seasons usually isn't too bad because vacations are more expensive, so going outside of season is better. (but not possible if you have school aged kids). Also, tons of downtime to get errands fixed that have been left all year.
