Technically, almost all of them celebrate Christmas on 25th December, the exceptions being groups such as some adherents of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, who don't believe in celebrations of any kind.

The twist in the tail is that Orthodox Christian church celebrates Christmas using the older Julian Calendar, which has been replaced in most of the world by the Gregorian Calendar.

The practical effect of this is that 240million Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on a date that corresponds to 7th January to the rest of us. As there are 2 billion Christians in the world, the proportion that celebrate Christmas on Dec 25th on the Gregorian Calendar is 88% of the total.
