Once you make your choice, can you explain why it is correct?

My vacation has passed is correct.
Past is a noun, a thing. Example: Past, present and future.
Passed is a verb, an action.
To answer your second question, When is your vacation? You would say, "My vacation happened in the past."

Its simple
Passed is a verb that goes with the helping verb
Past is a noun. Since you don't have a linking verb such as is was etc. to make it the object of the sentence, You can not use it after has. You could say My vacation is in the past, however.

My vacation is correct. Past refers to a state of time. In the past, we vacationed, but this year's vacation has passed.
It passed. an action. It past, doesn't make sense.

My vacation has passed. Passed is used as a verb meaning gone by. One word is not a suitable answer - It has passed (verb) or it's in the past (adjective)

'passed' is the past participle of the verb 'to pass'
'past' is a noun (''don't think about the past'') or an adjective (''I'm thinking of past vacations'')
So in your sentence you need ''passed'' because along with ''has'' it forms the present perfect.

How would you experience?
