number 1 is correct.
number 2 would be more natural if you said "Some countries CELEBRATE up to 20 holidays a year"
number 3 you would say "vacations" in the US. Describing a break as a holiday is used in the UK, not in the US. So, "how many vacations did you take last year?"
number 4 (in the US) = "I went on VACATION three times last year"
