Apple typically gives their employees the entire Thanksgiving week off, other than the retail and Applecare employees.
Sure some operations and other support and retail will be around, but your general engineers working on typical projects will generally be off on the days that the company is off (short of some critical project or deadline perhaps). Fairly typical of most similar companies.
I don't think Apple has ever released an iOS update during a holiday week. My guess is 9.2 comes out to the public on December 1st or 2nd.
I don't think this has been a feature-rich update so far, so I'm not sure why they need so many betas.
I know, how ridiculous that people actually get time off in America. Heaven forbid people get some rest and relaxation from their 60 hour work weeks.
It's not like their operations close shop on holidays. They also don't code then ship the beta at the last minute. If the release (whatever it is) is ready, it was done days ago.
Certainly operational support is still there but it doesn't mean they'd want to complicate it or risk something not being right and requiring more time to address it because more people are out. Many technology companies have release moratoriums around the holidays for that particular reason.
There is a good chance it would be released this coming Monday 30th Nov 2015 at 10 am Cupertino time.

Three (UK) support, on their blog announcing 'super voice' (VoLTE), recently commented that the update to support it for iPhones should be out by mid-December. Whilst some carrier updates can be released independently of iOS updates, I don't think Three do this often, and seeing as some other Android devices already support it, I think they are waiting for Apple. So I'd expect 9.2 by mid December, unless there's a point update for 9.1...
