Canon 1246 lists ten holy days, and Epiphany is one of them. However, the bishops'' conference has the discretion to abolish or move some of the holy days of obligation. In the U.S., we don''t celebrate the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, or the feast of St. Joseph, as a holy day of obligation. Other holy days have been transferred to Sunday, like Corpus Christi and the Epiphany. As you note, not all countries have taken that approach to the Epiphany. Just don''t get me started on "Ascension Sunday"! You”re absolutely right, Carson. Canon 1246 lists ten holy days, and Epiphany is one of them.

(Whereas we Americans are a bit different...) I''m partial to the January 6th celebration since it''s the day of my own natal manifestation!
