UK here. Pretty similar to the US in most respects, I think? But we have Christmas pudding, the queen’s king’s speech on telly, and Boxing Day on the 26th.
My wife is Belgian, so in our house we combine the otherwise conflicting traditions of when to open presents: most stuff gets opened at midnight, in the European fashion, but then we save the smaller ‘stocking filler’ gifts until the morning. Best of both worlds!

We also have christmas pudding and kinda celebrate Boxing Day. The only thing different is the queen isn’t on TV here.
