No, it's true. In Japan Christmas is considered a romantic holiday for some reason. Not everyone celebrates it that way, but the implications exist in TG. That's why if you go back to chapter 31.5, Sasaki wonders "if that person was on a date". Akira and Arima probably also showed up at the same time to continue the image of being Sasaki's "parents".

As for why Touka was on that day, it could be as Furutasmole suggested. Touka is the most popular female character in Japan, especially among the male fanbase from what I understand.
