If you have three weeks available you can bid them consecutively, whether or not you can hold it is something else. You also list your preferences saying if you cant give me time off in July, make it August, or June... You need to be rather senior to get Christmas, Thanksgiving or time off in the summer. If you don't get the weeks you want you'll be placed on a waiting list.
Now that's for the master bid. At anytime throughout the year you can put in for vacation as well. If it's more than a couple months out it may be immediately awarded, or you may be placed on a waiting list again.
You can cancel vacation (with some restrictions on when), or cancel just parts of it as well. You're not stuck with it.
When you upgrade, transfer, or transition you lose your vacation slot. As senior pilots to you do that (or they quit) that vacation time opens up again and is awarded to those on the waiting list.
I can routinely get 10+ days off while only using 4-5 days of vacation.
