Yes.
In early times Christmas Eve (before the Vigil Mass) is a day of fasting and abstinence. The 1983 Code of Canon Law eliminated this fast altogether, but traditional Catholics still keep the fast, eating seafood and avoiding meat.
However, the Catholic Church does not recognize Christmas or Christmas Eve as a day of fasting or abstinence.
