They don't celebrate Christmas
Actually, Chinese people do not celebrate Christmas so they don't eat anything particular on Christmas.
It depends what religion they are. Many people in China do not celebrate Christmas.
Most Chinese people in China do not celebrate Christmas. Some do and they typically dress very nicely, suits and red dresses. Chinese people in America usually celebrate Christmas whether or not they are Christian. They dress very formally and in elegant style.
Unless they are Christians, Chinese people would not normally celebrate Christmass. If they are Christians they would celebrate it on the 25th December.

Yea (:
Chinese people who's religion is Christianity,they usually go to a Christmas Mass on Christmas Eve at exactly 12:00 at midnight, just like you do. Chinese who believe in something else, they put up all the Santa and Rudolph stuff, which is NOT the real meaning of Christmas. But, in Taiwan, the kids don't have any holidays, 'coz they don't celebrate Christmas.
During Christmas people go to church and pray to God. Chinese people visit temples and pray to their ancestors for good fortune. It is the only difference. Similarity on both of this occasion, people celebrate by giving gifts and sweets to friends and relatives.
The chinese celebrate their christmas by Christmas is a Christian holiday and not many Chinese people are Christian. So the Chinese celebrate Christmas, but most of people do not celebrate it for the same reasons that Christians do. If you were to visit China during Christmas time, you'd see signs of Christmas everywhere you looked. One can find Christmas trees, lights, and other decorations on the streets and in department stores, particularly in urban areas. Attendance at Christmas Eve parties and celebrations has also become more and more popular. Many Chinese people, especially the young men, celebrate this holiday by exchanging Christmas cards & gifts, hanging Chinese Christmas decobbbration at home, eating Christmas dinners in nice western restaurants (not cooking at home), attending Christmas Eve parties, and spending time with family and friends. There is Christmas shopping too. The stores will offer discounts and coupons to attract more customers. Although December 25th is not a public holiday, Christmas has become part of life for Chinese people in recent years.
