It's being called a holiday tree because it's going to span not only the Christmas period but also will go into the New Year ...
Isn't the Epiphany (Jan 6) part of Christmas ?

Of course. The Christmas season begins with Christmas Eve, and ends on Twelfth Night. The Christmas season does not begin the weekend after Thanksgiving -- this year that is when Advent begins.
It IS more appropriate to celebrate on ALL twelve days of Christmas -- if we have enough energy! ;)
