Thought this might be helpful. I've written a T-SQL function that returns a federal holiday name based on an input date. No external data sources are required. If the date is not one of the 10 designated federal holidays, the function returns NULL. I've tested the results against 5 previous years and it appears to be spot on.
New Year's Day
Martin Luther King Day
President's Day
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Columbus Day
Veteran's Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day
Here is the T-SQL to drop and create the function.
/****** Object: UserDefinedFunction [dbo].[IsFederalHoliday] Script Date: 02/07/2012 13:05:02 ******/
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[IsFederalHoliday]') AND type in (N'FN', N'IF', N'TF', N'FS', N'FT'))
DROP FUNCTION [dbo].[IsFederalHoliday]

You'd probably find an inline function significantly more performant than this UDF: somethink like this:DECLARE @MyDate DATETIME = GETDATE()
SELECT Holiday = CASE
WHEN [Month] = 1 AND [DayOfMonth] = 1 THEN 'New Year'
WHEN [Month] = 5 AND [DayOfMonth] >= 25 AND [DayName] = 'Monday' THEN 'Memorial Day'
WHEN [Month] = 7 AND [DayOfMonth] = 4 THEN 'Independence Day'
WHEN [Month] = 9 AND [DayOfMonth] <= 7 AND [DayName] = 'Monday' THEN 'Labor Day'
WHEN [Month] = 11 AND [DayOfMonth] BETWEEN 22 AND 28 AND [DayName] = 'Thursday' THEN 'Thanksgiving Day'
WHEN [Month] = 12 AND [DayOfMonth] = 25 THEN 'Christmas Day'
ELSE NULL END
FROM (
SELECT
[Month] = MONTH(@MyDate),
[DayOfMonth] = DAY(@MyDate),
[DayName] = DATENAME(weekday,@MyDate)
) c

Chris, while your query might perform a bit better, one thing it doesn't do that JHaddens does is adjust for when the holiday in question falls on a weekday.
Basically, what his query returns is the day that a Federal Employee will have off, which changes if the holiday in question (Independence Day, New Years / Christmas, Veteran's Day) falls on a weekend.

You may need to implement a Localization ID. Depending on the US state, "Martin Luther King Day" may be referred to as "Robert E. Lee's Birthday", and "Columbus Day" is referred to as "Indigenous People's Day", to say the least. There are many other variations on which states officially observe which federal holidays.

For a case like this, nothing beats a good ol' fashioned calendar table... At least in my humble opinion...
Fact is, holidays tend not to change very often (if ever) there is absolutely no good reason to calculate them on the fly. Simply mark your holidays on the Calendar table one time, index as necessary, and you're good to go.

Here's another alternative. Btw, I corrected two holiday descriptions, for Jan and Feb. It's not "President's Day", it's "[George] Washington's Birthday"; I wish the media would stop repeating the wrong name ("fake news"? 🙂 )
I used a CTE for the dates so that it's easier to feed in multiple dates to fully test the logic, which I have not done, although I did test for Christmas last year.
DECLARE @InputDate datetime
SET @InputDate = '20161226'
;WITH CTEInputDates AS (
SELECT @InputDate AS InputDate
),
CTEInputValues AS (
SELECT
InputDate,
MONTH(InputDate) AS InputMonth,
DAY(InputDate) AS InputDay,
CAST(DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, InputDate) % 7 AS tinyint) AS InputDayOfWeek,
0 AS Monday, 3 AS Thursday, 4 AS Friday, 5 AS Saturday, 6 AS Sunday
FROM CTEInputDates
)
SELECT
CASE /* Fixed-WeekAndDayOfWeek Holidays*/
WHEN InputMonth = 1 AND InputDayOfWeek = Monday AND InputDay BETWEEN 15 AND 21
THEN 'Martin Luther King, Jr. Day'
WHEN InputMonth = 2 AND InputDayOfWeek = Monday AND InputDay BETWEEN 15 AND 21
THEN 'Washington''s Birthday'
WHEN InputMonth = 5 AND InputDayOfWeek = Monday AND InputDay >= 22 AND MONTH(DATEADD(DAY, 7, InputDate)) = 6
THEN 'Memorial Day'
WHEN InputMonth = 9 AND InputDayOfWeek = Monday AND InputDay BETWEEN 1 AND 7
THEN 'Labor Day'
WHEN InputMonth = 10 AND InputDayOfWeek = Monday AND InputDay BETWEEN 8 AND 14
THEN 'Columbus Day'
WHEN InputMonth = 11 AND InputDayOfWeek = Thursday AND InputDay BETWEEN 22 AND 28
THEN 'Thanksgiving Day'
/* Fixed-Date Holidays */

OR (InputMonth = 12 AND InputDayOfWeek = Friday AND InputDay = 31)

Interesting: it seems to have cut my indentations from 4 spaces to 2, I'm not sure why, but I'm not gonna worry about trying to fix just that.

Bwahaaaa! This is almost identical to the function I cut the above code from!
I only posted a piece because the rest is trivially easy to figure out. Fishing rod plus bait...

I required a table of US holidays so adapted ChrisM's solution (above) as follows to list 40 years of US holidays.....
DECLARE @start_date date = 'Jan 1, 2010';
DECLARE @end_date date = dateadd(year,40,@start_date);
WITH AllDays
AS (
SELECT @start_date AS [Date], month( @start_date) as mnth, Day( @start_date) as dayofM, DateName(weekday, @start_date) as dtname
UNION ALL
SELECT
DATEADD(DAY, 1, [Date]), month( DATEADD(DAY, 1, [Date])) as mnth, Day( DATEADD(DAY, 1, [Date])) as dayofM, DateName(weekday,DATEADD(DAY, 1, [Date])) as dtname
FROM AllDays
WHERE [Date] < @end_date
)
SELECT [Date], mnth, dayofM, dtname
FROM AllDays
where
(
(mnth =1 and dayofM = 1) /* new years */
or (mnth =5 and dayofM >= 25 and dtname = 'Monday') /* memorial day */
or (mnth =7 and dayofM = 4) /* Indendence day */
or (mnth =9 and dayofM <= 7 and dtname = 'Monday') /* Labour day */
or (mnth =11 and dayofM between 22 and 28 and dtname = 'Thursday') /* Thanksgiving */
or (mnth =12 and dayofM = 25) /* Xmas */
)
