It's said in greek folklore, that they are Goblintype creatures, so yeah, similarities are quite possible. They start appearing December 25th and stay till January 6th aka during 'the twelve days of christmas'. Krampus disappeared after midnight on December 22nd. So they kind of take turns in haunting people.

It is believed that Kallikantzaroi stay underground sawing the World Tree, so that it will collapse, along with Earth. However, when they are about to saw the final part, Christmas dawns and they are able to come to the surface. They forget the Tree and come to bring trouble to mortals. According to Serbian tradition, when a kallikantzaros found someone outdoors during one of these nights, it would jump on the person's back and demand to be carried wherever it wanted. This torture would end only when roosters announced the dawn; at that moment the creature would release its victim and run away.

So... I'm very curious whats gonna happen, since the writers already mixed Krampus with Knecht Rupprecht. Will they gonna stay true to the tale this time? I seriously doubt it XDD But it would be funny as hell, if a kallikantzaros jumped on Wu's back and Nick trying to explain that one to the Seargent XDD
