Brits and Americans have very similar Christmas days - but there are a few unusual differences.
Both nations love to have the family round on the big day, exchange presents and sit down to a feast full of turkey and stuffing.
However, there our countries do have some major differences with the way they celebrate over the festive period.
Americans will probably be baffled by many British customs, such as pulling crackers, going to pantomimes and eating Christmas puddings.
But what are the American traditions that will leave Brits feeling a bit confused?
Popcorn on Christmas trees
The Americans didn’t invent Christmas decorations, but they have added their own unique twist to proceedings.
There are obviously fairy lights, baubles and tinsel knocking around the tree, but one thing they put on that we don’t is popcorn.
Apparently the practise was originally done using fruits and nuts and was meant to help feed birds during harsh winters,
But it's now developed into popcorn and has been going on from an early as 1842.
Brits do like to hang little wrapped chocolates on the tree, but the idea of leaving popcorn out seems very odd.
Hidden pickle
The Christmas pickle is perhaps the most bizarre tradition on this list.
Americans like to hang an ornament in the shape of a pickle on their Christmas trees, which is thought to be a German-American tradition going back to the late 19th century.
There are two suggested origin stories - one where two children were trapped in a barrel of pickles by an innkeeper but were saved by St. Nicholas reviving them.
Another is that an imprisoned German-born soldier in the American Civil War begged for one last pickle before he died - and it miraculously saved his life.
Now on Christmas morning, the first person to find the pickle gets an extra present from Santa or good fortune for the rest of the year.
Eggnog
The beverages that get guzzled in Britain on Christmas Day are Bucks Fizz and a Baileys.
But one thing that we definitely don't drink is eggnog.
Also known as milk punch, the rich drink is made with milk, egg yolks, sugar and distilled spirits such as rum, whisky or sherry.
It actually originated on British shores but is now a traditional Christmas delicacy in the States.
While it's loved by Americans, the idea of drinking eggs isn't as appetising over here.
SantaCons
A load of Santas running through the streets? Only in America.
Each year in cities across the US, thousands of people dressed up as Santa gather for what is essentially a giant pub crawl while raising money for charity.
The biggest takes place in New York and makes hundreds of thousands of dollars for good causes.
Despite it being a big boozfest, its yet to really catch on in Britain on the same scale.
