‘Prochaines’ before or after ‘vacances’

‘Prochaines’ before or after ‘vacances’

Is ‘Pour mes prochaines vacances’ (writing challenge B1 My Next Holiday) because the writer assumes there will be more than one more holiday? (ie, the next in an expected future series). Would it be ‘Pour mes vacances prochaines’ if the next was thought to be the last?

I have the same question as Charles.  What is the reason "prochaines" is placed before the noun?  Thanks for your help.
