Either crib or creche is correct.
Some of the figures in the creche are Joseph, Mary, the infant Jesus, the wisemen, and the shepherds. Most creches also have a few sheep.
Christmas Eve for most families is not a time of feasting. That is on Christmas Day, when we have ham or turkey, and pumpkin, mince, or other pies for dessert.
However, because Americans come from such a variety of cultures, we have many different traditions for Christmas Eve. Some have potluck buffets, others follow more traditional customs. Check this site.

I need some information about the figures (?) that are part of the crib.
I really hope you can help me.
On Christmas Eve I spent time preparing the crib (crèche?). I set up the various figures (can you help me name some of them in English).
What do you usually eat on Christmas Eve for main course and dessert in America?
