When was Christmas officially declared a federal holiday in the United States?
Answer June 26, 1870
Following the American Revolution, many English practices and customs became unpopular – including Christmas. It wasn’t until June 26, 1870 – almost 100 years after the United States became a nation – that Christmas was declared a federal holiday.
