Bonjour Joakim !
Mmmmhhh, that's a tricky one.
Instinctively, I would say it's wrong, it sounds really off to me as a native French speaker.
So I looked around, and found some examples with it, mostly from non-natives, but also some French people, such as the case you quoted.
However, only in the form of a question.
You could not say: "Mes vacances vont bien." as it sounds like your holiday is a person!
So I'd mark it as half correct, as it is definitely not the most colloquial way to say this, but can be found...
I hope that answers your question!
Merci et à bientôt !
