No. Jews do not celebrate Christmas and Christmas is a non-occasion in Judaism. Jews who live their lives according to Jewish law and tradition don't celebrate it. Neither that holiday nor its back-story are a part of Judaism.
Jews do have a winter celebration called Hanukkah which is completely unrelated to Christmas.
Most Jews don't celebrate Christmas, as it is a Christian holiday. There are, however, some Jews who celebrate the secular aspects of the holiday, particularly Jews living in interfaith households. It is also somewhat common for British and Irish Jews to celebrate Christmas to some extent.

Celebrating Christmas, by definition implies acceptance of Christianity, and is not done in Judaism, even by non-religious Jews.

Religious Jews ignore Christmas; it is simply not something of any importance to them in much the same way that Christians ignore Hanukkah, Eid al-Adha, or Diwali (which are Jewish, Islamic, and Hindu holidays) because they are not relevant to their tradition.
Liberal Jews in Western countries (especially the US), may celebrate certain aspects of Christmas, contrary to Jewish religious teachings. Some of these aspects may include getting a conifer tree, but labeling it a Hanukkah Bush instead of a Christmas Tree, claiming that Santa will visit homes on Hanukkah to provide presents, saying Merry Christmas instead of "Season's Greetings" or some other religion-neutral expression, etc. However, no Jewish family of which I am aware celebrates anything on December 24th or 25th except a customary trip to the local Chinese restaurant. (Again all of these are counter to Jewish religious teachings.) No Jew recognizes the Christian claims about the alleged miraculous events that took place roughly 2000 years ago concerning Jesus, nor celebrates those at Christmas-time.
