This webpage details what happened last year (Xmas 2009):

Interesting, thanks. I knew about the airport services, but not the
others (nor the Scottish ones). I'm just so used to everything in
this country shutting down over Christmas...


You might be surprised at the number of corner shop / convenience store type
establishments that one can find open in at least some parts of London on
Christmas Day itself - to be honest, it has surprised me a bit too! A number
of public hostelries also open up, albeit generally I think only for limited
hours - plus there are those pubs that go in for the full Christmas lunch
fandango too of course.

Back on topic(-ish), the Oxford Tube runs on on Xmas day but reroutes itself
to serve Heathrow en route to Oxford (and hence misses Hillingdon), and so
that provides an alternative to the HEx bus - see:

I think that airport coach services run from London to Luton (Greenline) and
Stansted (NX) on Xmas day too.
