Hola Stephanie
In Spain we tend to use the word "navidades" to refer to the whole Christmas season, but we do sometimes use it in plural to refer to just the 25th December.
In any case, the English translation has been changed to "This is the first Christmas season without Cristina", which is the correct one as you said.
Gracias y saludos
Inma
