How is it awkward for the Landlord? The OP needs to move and is entitled to do so.That's making it very awkward for your landlord - and certainly not what I would consider "a chat and a bit of give & take"
Many people would be off work or away during the Christmas break.
The OP asked about reassigning the lease - my suggestion was to be helpful & much can be achieved by a chat and discussion.
If you are reassigning the lease dont you have to have taker to offer the landlord?
And the landlord will take some time to do vetting before they say yes or no.
Before you start thinking about playing games with your landlord ask yourself will you need them as a reference in future.
People now ask for references from your 2 previous landlords. Thsy just ignore what the current landlord says as he might want to get rid of thwm. It's on the next let after that you we will need a reference from your current landlord., So don't burn that bridge.
Landlord references aren't worth twpence. And what does she need a reference for, she's becoming an owner. OP is not playing any games. She's entitled to give notice and entitled to leave.
Landlord's don't want the lease reassaigned, far better to pick your own tenant with a new lease. Plus it's a landlord's market.
..naive to think she will get into her new property around the 28th December. Banks, solicitors, auctioneers, state offices that might be needed for closing documents all very trickey to have all them ducks in a row the Friday after Christmas heading into another bank holiday weekend of the New Year. In fact I can't imagine a worse week.
The world doesn't stop just because Ireland shuts down at Christmas
