Yes, Eastern Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on January 7th instead of December 25th, as their church calendar follows the Julian calendar. This is because they use the date of the birth of Jesus Christ as the basis for their calendar, rather than the Gregorian calendar used by most of the Western world. However, the celebrations and traditions are very similar to those of Western Christians.
