Hi. Are the phrases " go on holiday" and "go for a holiday" interchangeable? And is "on holiday" always without an article and "go for a holiday" with an article? Thanks anyone who will clarify it.

Yes, it sounds a bit unnatural to me, too. However, I have seen it so many times, even in English textbooks.
