We wouldn’t expect to see Christianity abandon these traditions for over a thousand years before deciding to go all pagany again. Despite this common myth, it is true that midwinter festivals were fairly ubiquitous amongst pagan cultures (the Romans had at least two; the feast of Sol Invictus was held around the same time as Saturnalia). It is therefore very likely that either local cultures adapted these festivals into Christianity and it spread, or the early church decided on the dates to take advantage of existing festivals (more likely it was a combination of the two; enterprising missionaries adapted local festivals and the idea spread from there).
