Many evangelical churches do serve communion on Christmas eve.

The Mass is the complex of prayers and ceremonies that make up the service of the Eucharist in the Latin rites. The term "Mass" is derived from the Late Latin word missa (dismissal), a word used in the concluding formula of Mass in Latin: "Ite, missa est" ("Go; it is the dismissal").

A Protestant communion, even an Anglican or Lutheran communion, isn't a Catholic Mass by any measure.
