I mean if they're owned by a trainer that celebrates Christmas then maybe sure, wild Pokémon on the other hand probably not I think because how would they know about the holiday?

What do you think

    Given that it's a Japanese franchise and that Christmas is not really understood and celebrated in the same way here, I would say that Christmas is more of a seasonal aesthetic flair than anything in Pokémon.

    Does Pokémon Jesus exist, or is that Arceus?

    What a great question! I would hope the wild ones do, but maybe not! Would definitely like to hear what others think!

    I don't know about other Pokemon, but @clasingla is right. Delibirds definitely celebrate Christmas.

    They probably do. I wonder how the Bible will be adapted in a Pokemon universe.

    I got a couple of Shiny Delibird, so why not have more Pokemon to represent christmas?

    The Pokémon equivalent to the Bible is probably Arceus' lore.

    Pikachu's Winter Vacation 1 and 2 exist, so at least some do, if nowhere else then in the anime.
