The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
This set of challenges today will likely take two games of Firefight Matchmaking in the Score Attack playlist. However, there is a secondary option of playing Firefight Doubles in which all of these challenges can be completed in a single game. That is unlikely, however, since you have to get the map Holdout for the "Just Holdout" challenge and getting particular maps for co-operative games is a nightmare. My advice is to stick to Score Attack.

Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 100 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
Play a game like Gruntpocalypse or 2X Score Attack for the first game of the day. Stick to the DMR as it is just the best weapon for this challenge. Now, these gametypes will allow you to get a bunch of headshots in a single game. If you get Gruntpocalypse, you can get the challenge done in a single game, likely. If you get 2X Score Attack, it is possible as well, but you will likely have trouble with the Skirmishers. You should get very close to a hundred kills, however. On your second game, which will be Crashsite if you are lucky, just focus on getting a few extra headshots before you end the game.

Just Holdout - Kill 150 enemies on Holdout in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2500cR
This is the challenge you really need to worry about and the one that will be forcing you to play two games of Firefight Matchmaking. My advice is to stick to the Score Attack playlist so you can get this map. For the first game, aim for Gruntpocalypse or 2X Score Attack. You want those gametypes so you can get headshots for the "Hyper Lethal Vector" challenge. If you the headshots finished then the second game can be whatever you want. Crashsite would be preferable as you can quickly end it once the game is complete.

Weapon Swap - Earn 10 sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game on Heroic or harder. - 200cR
This is a relatively easy challenge to get but it will require that you die in a game of Firefight Matchmaking. In Firefight, every ten kills gets you a spree up until you get to fifty kills. After that, that sprees are spread out much more and make it impossible for you to get enough sprees if you stay alive the entire game. Once you hit fifty kills, die on purpose. This will reset the counter and allow you to get another fifty kills, which will in turn give you another five sprees and the challenge completed.
