Branhamism rejects Christmas and Easter as pagan observances lacking biblical warrant. William Branham taught that these holidays were corruptions introduced through worldly Christendom and had no foundation in Scripture. Believers are encouraged not to participate in these celebrations, which are seen as compromises with paganism and worldliness.

Instead of traditional Christian holidays, Branham's Message emphasizes direct focus on Christ and His work without the mediation of human tradition or cultural ceremony. This critique parallels that of Armstrongism and other restorationist movements. The rejection of holidays reflects a broader Branhamist ethic of separation from worldly systems and return to apostolic purity, freed from the accretions of ecclesiastical tradition and pagan syncretism.
