There's a few threads on the forums that explains what happens during Christmas. But for the most part you get holiday routine.

A few days of holiday routine is ultimately what happens. You may get liberty to go to like a VFW or Church organization if you are far enough in training (its an "adopt a sailor" program the Navy does; this also applies to thanksgiving), but the liberty will be division wide in uniform and you will have to behave and act a particular way. Sometimes they also let family members who live near base or are visiting Chicago adopt you and a shipmate for the day so you can see your family that one day but again, you have to be farther along in boot camp for that to happen.
