Christmas Cactus come in many different color varieties from traditional red to purple, pink, orange, gold and white.
In each of these color groups there are dozens of common cultivators.

I would trim away any obvious dead material from the plant.
Continue to care for the plant and wait and see.

Here is some links with more information.
