European trains run 365 days a year. Yes, you can go from Zurich to Strasbourg on Christmas Day. Have you look at the website for Swiss trains? SBB.ch
I see several train options that are about 3 hours or a little less from Zurich to Strasbourg. One or two train changes depending on itinerary chosen.

Trains would be pretty pointless if they didn't run every day. So yes, of course they run on Christmas. Basically on holidays they run as on Sundays, But in Switzerland the same schedule runs pretty much every day anyway.

I can't speak from experience about trains on Christmas day, but in 2001, I arrived at FRA on December 26 and took an ICE to Karlsruhe. December 26 is a major holiday, the 2nd day of Christmas, in Germany, and the trains were running, and packed.
You can check the schedule for Switzerland on the Swiss Rail or German Rail (yes, for Switzerland) websites.
