Holiday

Can ‘holiday’ mean not only one day but more than two days?

I find both (A) and (B) on the Internet.

(A) (The restaurant is open) during the Christmas holiday.

(B) (The restaurant is open) during the Christmas holidays.

Is one better than the other? Are there any differences between (A) and (B)?
