It is not really a secret most major holidays come with a slate of games dedicated to one sport or another. Thanksgiving belongs to the NFL, New Year’s Day belongs to college football, Independence Day belongs to MLB and Boxing Day belongs to soccer.

For the past two decades, Christmas has belonged to the NBA but it seems like it still gets overlooked when talking about the major holiday sports schedules.
