Yes, I've received one..from when in private firms. Not all, but some.
When I've worked for govn't, I don't recall getting a Christmas bonus. And the positions I held in govn't were unionized. (I worked for provincial Ont. & B.C.) Provincial govn't Ont. employees have a strong union...which gives them much healthier salary pay scales than prov. B.C. unionized employees.
Would suggest to find out if your pension will be indexed according to inflation. A good govn't pension will be indexed over the years/decades.
Alot of major private firm pensions...tend not to be and no guarantee. It makes a difference long-term. So the lack of Christmas bonuses becomes not as important as other factors over time...that is if you stick around long enough.
