Your opening hours will be listed in a different colour in the search results. Consequently, your customers will know that the hours are up to date and will be confident to go to your point of sale.
What happens if you do not update your special opening hours in Google? It is easy, your special opening hours will not be shown in Google search or Google Maps. Instead, it will be mentioned that the hours are uncertain and could change. As a result, your customers will not know for sure whether the store is open or not. It is possible that they might decide to do something else or go somewhere else.

It is of utmost important that you update those special opening hours and days in Google. This can be done in your Google My Business account.
