More details to this question:
They have asked for volunteer but if no one volunteered to worked on the holidays, they would randomly picked an employee to work on the specific holidays. Is this legal?

Yes. Your employer has to get the work done, and that may require having employees work on holidays. If no one volunteers, the employer can direct specific employees to work the holidays.
