The holiday in question here does not appear to be a religious one. Rather, it appears these could be the dates of a college winter break.
The dates of the celebration, December 26 - January 1, were chosen to correspond to the end of the year celebrations in America. Kwanzaa begins the day after Christmas. This to bypass the commercial buying period but to take advantage of the seasonal holiday spirit.Source: http://www.flowercouncil.org/us/events/Activities/Kwanzaa.asp
