Since South Africa is in the Southern Hemisphere, Christmas is celebrated in summer. Some South African traditions are putting up a Christmas tree, children leaving a stocking out for Santa on Christmas Eve, having turkey or duck for the Christmas meal, eating the meal outside, and visiting friends and family on Christmas afternoon.
Christmas in South Africa is called Christmas, just like everywhere else. They may put their own spin on the celebrations with traditions like braai (barbecue) instead of a traditional roast dinner, but the name remains the same. So, no need to worry about any fancy names or rebranding - it's just good ol' Christmas down in South Africa.

Christmas day is a holiday in South Africa, but the government of South Africa does promote religious freedom and that all religions in SA are equal and therefore it is not officially a religious holiday. The majority of South Africans are Christians and therefore most would celebrate Christmas from a religious point of view, many going to church on Christmas morning.
Tickets to South Africa are mos expensive near Christmas and Summer.
