I feel like new years day is the Scottish Christmas. It's quite a traditional family thing with a steak pie being a big feast meal.

Burns Night is more a national day. People don't really celebrate St Andrews day as much, I always felt Burns night was the substitute for this. The meal is also about humility and a celebration of culture and history. So national days and thanksgivings feel more appropriate comparisons.
