Is a text or a call enough?

Between peers it can be, as long as it sounds like you mean it.

What if it's already late?

Send it anyway and say you're sorry it's late. A note in February beats no note at all.

When should you send thank-you notes after Christmas?

Q: When should you send thank-you notes after Christmas?

Within a week or two. There's no rule, but common practice is to write as soon as you can, ideally within a week or two of Christmas. A note is still worth sending after that. If you opened the gift in front of the giver and thanked them then, a note isn't needed, and if the giver wasn't there, a handwritten note is the preferred way to thank them.
