In Finnish we have "kissanristiƤiset" (literally means a cat's christening), which means some trivial and meaningless celebration/event.

This is a broad format, but I like the American English formula of "Well, blank my blank and call me a blank!" to express "oh wow, I did not expect that!"
Typically in my experience, it is pretty vulgar. Eg: "well, slap my ass and call me a bitch!"
Well suck my twat and call me cumquat
adopted
Well, smoke my toads and call me a squid-squab!
