From Beeropedia

Christmas beers are often stronger in alcohol content (ABV). The thinking is that a Christmas beer is more of a treat than a session beer, and thus a stronger beer is more suitable.

Christmas beers are also often darker/heavier style beers, ale being quite common. This is due to Christmas in the northern hemisphere occurring in winter, where heaver beers are more suitable.

In the southern hemisphere where Christmas occurs in summer, lager's are popular at Christmas. It's also a good opportunity to drink IPA's, which provide the strong flavors and high alcohol content, but more suitable to hot weather.
