@chekist "tocar fin" no suena natural, al menos en español de latinoamérica. Una expresión similar que puedes usar es "llegar a su fin"; es decir: "De momento estoy en vacaciones de verano, quedan pocos días hasta que lleguen a su fin." Pero no quita que esto suena un poco "sofisticado" y normalmente simplemente usaríamos los verbos "acabar" o "terminar".
En cuanto a "de" vs "en", yo lo veo así:
Estar de vacaciones = correcto
Estar en vacaciones = correcto pero menos natural
Estar de vacaciones de verano/invierno = correcto pero poco natural
Estar en vacaciones de verano/invierno = correcto
Creo que lo que le quita naturalidad es repetir "de".

if you mean that summer vacation is going to be over and you're telling someone casually just to mention it. You might as well say it in one of these ways:
1) De momento estoy en vacaciones de verano, y quedan pocos días para que se acaben.
2) De momento estoy en vacaciones de verano, y quedan pocos días para que se terminen.
3) En estos momentos estoy en vacaciones de verano, y quedan pocos días para que se acaben.
4) En estos momentos estoy en vacaciones de verano, y quedan pocos días para que se terminen.
but if for example, you explain to someone that you're coming back soon or that you don't want the holiday to end, you say it by adding a “Pero” like this
1) De momento estoy en vacaciones de verano, pero quedan pocos días para que se acaben
2) De momentos estoy en vacaciones de verano, pero quedan pocos días para que se terminen.
3) En estos momentos estoy en vacaciones de verano, pero quedan pocos días para que se acaben.
4) En estos momentos estoy en vacaciones de verano, pero quedan pocos días para que se terminen.
