Hey @mbinder ~ Welcome to the Community! 
At this time you only can make use of The Timeline Column to skip weekends (unless your team does work weekends).
However, we are looking to add the ability to have/add black out dates (such as holidays) to accounts so the date & timeline columns can recognize them and skip them!
To help show your support for adding this capability, I would encourage you to share your thoughts in the Feature Feedback section of the Community! I even found an existing feedback [post you can vote on here: Add Holiday/Blackout Days
I hope this helps! 
Cheers,
Jenna
