Yes, of course.
But It depends on the type of job contract. A physician that must remain in the hospital in Christmas Eve to deal with a ton of drunken people is paid more. A tow truck driver is expected to be available at any time or day and can be paid the same. Their work has a different concept of what is extra time, and a researcher passing the night in the university just wouldn't be paid for that.

I have physician family members who never got paid more for working on holidays because all the holidays were divided equally among the doctors in the group, e.g. if there were 5 doctors each one had to work every 5th Christmas, etc.
