Russia, Serbia, Ukraine, Belarus, Egypt, Ethiopia, Armenia and others which I don't remember. Russians consider January 7 as the official birth of Christ and observe the January 6 midnight mass. The Ethiopians have a long tradition of January 7 Christmas and Armenians also observer. Another group of people that don't have a country but live in parts of Iran and many live in the United States are Assyrians.

Are you talking Christians that are orthodox, or Muslims celebrating a holiday that may resemble Christmas? I know that Russians and other Easter Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas in January because of a different feast calendar.

Do you mean January 6? It's the Feast of the Epiphany. In Mexico, that's when they exchange gifts, as traditionally that's when the magi came. Armenians and other Eastern European countries also celebrate on that day.

It is not countries, it is people of the Orthodox faith, that follow the Julian Calendar. Many people in many countries, but no particular countries.
