Christmas Holidays

Explanation:
With headings such as these, we normally use the plural form of 'holidays'. Sources - living in UK nearly all my life, being a native speaker, asking other native English speakers and Oxford Advanced learners dictionary.

According to my Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary \'holiday\' should be in the plural when it is a period of time, such as the above. You use the singular form of \'holiday\' when it is a one day.
