I believe the answer is:

ankh

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cross missing most' is the definition.
'ankh' can be an answer for 'cross' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'missing most' bit.

'of bank holiday' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'ANKH' can be found hidden inside 'bank holiday'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ankh that I've seen before include "Cross with a loop at the top, symbol of life in ancient Egypt" , "Sign of life" , "Waylay" , "Ansate cross" , "Hank (anag) - cross symbolising eternal life" .)
