Jehovah's Witnesses.
As far as I remember, my SDA neighbours also do not celebrate it, saying it's the official stand of the church, but my SDA classmates do. I stand to be corrected.
EDIT: Cathy, don't the Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas, just on another date? January 7th. That's why the Russians have a one-week official holiday from 1st January to the 7th.

Eastern Orthodox churchs celebrate Easter and Christmas on days different than the days which Christians based on Catholicism worship

JWs, Orthodox Christians.
Edit:
You're right, they do celebrate on an alternate date. I was responding to the subquestion "Are there any other denominations who celebrate Christmas other than on 25 December."

I know growing up as Church of Christ - they celebrated Christmas but always tried to "de-link" it from any religious significance (ala we don't really know what day of the year Jesus Christ was born); and encouraged us to celebrate it more as a pagan holiday ironically - much later on in life, I discovered what a big deal, major production it was in other denominations - but the Church of Christ not so much.

Well Happy that would most likely be the Jehovah Witnesses.I believe they believe that Christ hasn't come yet.Since X-Mas is the celebration of the birth of Christ,they must be the answer.

Jesus birthday was this Year september 28 (Tishri 15) in Jewish calendar , and the bible didn´t command to celebrated. JWs don´t do it for that reason.
Jesus command to conmemorate only his death Luke 22:19. Nisan 14 (April 2 This year the date of passover given in the book of Exodus.

Jehovahs Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas. They do however celebrate 'Jesus death' with their memorial celebration. It is really quite disturbing.
