There are two federal holidays in the United States in January: New Year's Day and Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday (often erroneously referred to as Martin Luther King Day). However, this does not mean that the two holidays are observed (as time off for federal workers) in January. (Read below concerning when New Year's Day is observed in December.)
King's Birthday is observed on the third Monday in January, thus it can occur anywhere from January15th (the actual anniversary of his 1929 birthdate) to January 21st.
The New Year's Day holiday occurs on January 1st itself unless that date occurs on a weekend, in which case the holiday is observed on the nearer weekday (i.e. Saturday, January 1 is observed on Friday, December 31 and Sunday, January 1 is observed on Monday, January 2).
It should be noted that, since not all federal employees work Monday-Friday, for some workers holidays can be observed on the actual days of the week on which they occur.

When did Good Friday stop being a federal holiday?
Good Friday was established as a federal holiday in the United States in 1971 but was removed from the list of federal holidays in 1978. This change was part of a broader effort to standardize federal holidays and reduce the number of paid holidays for federal employees. As a result, Good Friday is no longer recognized as a federal holiday, although it is still observed by many religious communities.
How many US national holidays fall in between Christmas and New Year?
The United States has no "national holidays". Congress can only designate holidays for federal facilities. If you consider that Christmas is December 25 and New Year is January 1, the only times you will have a federal holiday between the two (from Dec 26 through Dec 31) will be when Christmas and New Year fall on the weekend. For example, in 2016, Christmas was on Sunday so the Federal Holiday was observed on December 26. When New Year falls on a Saturday, the Federal Holiday would be observed on Friday, December 31. When the two holidays fall on a weekday, that day is the federal holiday, so there is no federal holiday between the two in those instances.
