Interestingly, even though only a very small number of Japanese people are Christians, they have nonetheless adopted the celebration of a traditional Western Christmas. However, they do not recognize it as an official national holiday. Also, they celebrate the holiday on the 24th of December (as do the French) rather than on Christmas Day. Even children in Japan have the same Santa Claus!
Here are a few links to recipes for the type of food that Japanese people enjoy around Christmas time:

So considering that in Japan people makes cakes at Christmas, enjoy rich foods, exchange gifts, and even have the same Santa Claus as in America, I guess you could say that overall it's celebrated quite similarly there to how it is celebrated in the West.
