On New Year's Eve. At Christmas. Or On Christmas Day.
New Year's Eve and Christmas Day are specifics ,so use on. Christmas is a more general term, denoting a season so use at.
Differences between American English and British English are many. Vocabulary is one. Hood/bonnet; boot/trunk. Pavement/sidewalk. Lorry /truck. Fall/ Autumn.
Different to/different than. Gas/petrol. Do you have?/Have you got.? Got/gotten. corpse/cadaver. These are just some that I can think of. Hope this helps.

Both should be 'on'. It's on New Year's Eve and on Christmas. This particular example would be the same in either American English or British English.
There are very few actual differences between AE and BE - mostly in spelling. Brits use the ough spelling, as in through, while the Yanks spell it thru. The Brits put a 'u' in words like honour, but the Yanks truncate it to 'honor'
There are some pronunciation differences, but very few grammatical difference.
