It's not impossible - but it's not a standard, grammatically correct phrase. It is simply the wrong vocabulary.

'go off on holiday' is a set phrase, which is unique to that situation.

Hi Dear Alan,
Your explanations have always been so much useful for me. Can you explain more about the differences between go away, go out, go off.
Thank you.
