The actual Christmas holiday is just Christmas Day.
Most people (but generally not department stores) also have Boxing Day, 26 December, as a holiday.
School children have six weeks holiday (longer for private schools).
Christmas is December 25th everywhere.
The difference is in the season. In the Southern Hemisphere, December is in the middle of the summer. So what Europeans and Americans consider traditional Christmas settings (e.g. cold, snowy weather) are not present there.
