Is it correct to say;
"I revise my lessons on holidays"?

It's a bit strange. Perhaps you mean this:
I revise my lessons while (I'm) on holidays.

I mean "when I have holidays, free from school."

No, Matthew.

'Revise lessons' is not natural to me.

I review my lesson notes when I am on holiday.
I revise (for my exams) during the school holidays.

This might work in certain contexts, but I suspect with a different meaning than you intend.

If I'm a teacher, and I have lessons to teach about various holidays, and they need to be changed or updated, then I might 'revise my holiday lessons'.

For example, I might teach a lesson about the 4th of July holiday in the US for a civics class, and feel that I need to revise it to keep it fresh or make it more engaging.
