Grant President Ulysses S. Grant was president when Christmas was made a national holiday in 1870.

The U. S. Congress and President Ulysses S. Grant made Christmas a U. S. Federal Holiday in 1870.
Technically there are no national holidays in the US, only federal holidays when federal government workers take the day off. Christmas was made a federal holiday on June 26, 1870 when U. S. Grant was President.
