I've created a plugin for moment that takes care of all your holiday handling and calculating needs: https://github.com/kodie/moment-holiday

My isHoliday() function accomplishes exactly what @jrhames's gist was attempting to do accurately (@baburdick pointed out that this gist doesn't accurately figure out when Thanksgiving or Memorial day is)

For example:

moment('2017-12-25').isHoliday();
//Christmas Day

Also, my holiday() function does exactly what @ihomecall was needing.

For example:

moment().holiday('Memorial Day');
//moment("2017-05-29T00:00:00.000")

Let me know what you think!

I want to get the full list of the national holidays (names) how can I use this?

@kodie, I tried to use your plugin on my Angular 2 app and I couldn’t get it to work. Any idea why? I got it to work on my Hugo project and it’s great!
