If Jesus was a prophet and one of the most important ones, how come Muslims don't celebrate Christmas?

It can be culturally appropriated and changed to make it Islamic.

Jesus has nothing to do with Christmas ask the Jehova witnesses , and jesus was Jewish .

Islam generally frowns upon celebrations of prophets birthdays. The Mawlid was historically frowned upon.

Furthermore, I did ask some sheikhs this and the answer was three fold.

1. Islam actually believes Jesus was born in January, in accordance with the Orthodox.

2. Christmas is a pagan holiday and we know what Islam thinks of Paganism.

3. Islam frowns upon copying non-Muslim traditions.
 
It was a winter festival, but it was changed to celebrate his birth. So it does have something to do with him in its pre-consumerism form.
Hmmm I think it was originally a winter solstice festival that all Europe and ancient Iran use to celebrate hence the Iranians use to worship evergreen trees because they are the only living plants in winter .

Winter is a depressing season of the year, ngl, Christmas and New Year's Eve do make it better.

If Muslims are going to take over northern regions of the world, there has to be a holiday around this time of the year to make it more cheerful.

isn't Christmas a Pegan thing?

"Jeremiah describes a Pagan Custom very similar to Christmas​

In the following passage Jeremiah describes a pagan custom that is very similar to Christmas in terms of its customs.

Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. (Jeremiah 10:2-4)"

"The winter solstice is and was one of the most celebrated holidays for countless pagan cultures around the world. So it is no wonder that December 25th is actually not the birthday of Jesus, but the holiday of the pagan sun god Sol. December 21st, which fell on the same day before the calendar change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar, was the highest day in the pagan cult of Mithras, which was in full bloom at the time of early Christianity. Other customs that were adopted from the Mithraism are still prevalent in the Catholic Church today, including the Christmas customs."

"List of other Pagan Holidays that fall on Christmas​

Yule Festival, December 21st, old calendar – Northern European festival

Birthday of Horus (Egyptian god), December 21, old calendar – Egyptian festival

Wendling, December 24th – 26th – Franconian-Elbe-Germanic festival

Birthday of Tammuz (Babylonian god), December 25th – Babylonian festival

Birthday of Mithras, December 25th – Feast of Mithras cult

Holiday of Sol Invictus (Roman sun god), December 25th – Roman festival

Rauhnächte, December 24th – 26th – pagan festival (the Christian church later formed the Christmas festival from this)"

Sunnis are the last people to be calling other religions as pagan influenced. Look in the mirror and stop insulting other people's religious beliefs.

Thank you for the Christmas wishes @Apollo
