1) It’s an imitation of the kuffar (bid’ah). Celebrating innovated festivals is the action of the people of the Book who we are commanded to differ from. Imitating their festivals implies that one is happy with the falsehood they’re following.
2) The companion of the Prophet, Abdullah Bin ‘Amar bin al-& #39;Aas said: “Whoever celebrates the Persian New Year& #39;s Day or their carnival and imitates them till his death he will be resurrected with them on the Day of Judgment.”
3) Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Similarly it is forbidden for the Muslims to imitate the kuffaar by holding parties on these occasions, or exchanging gifts, or distributing sweets or other foods, or taking time off work and so on
Because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.”
Greeting the kuffaar on Christmas and other religious holidays of theirs is haraam
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy on him, said in Ahkaam Ahl al-Dhimmah: "Congratulating the kuffaar on the rituals that belong only to them is haraam by consensus, as is congratulating them on their festivals and fasts by saying ‘A happy festival to you’
"If you disbelieve, then verily, Allaah is not in need of you, He likes not disbelief for His slaves. And if you are grateful (by being believers), He is pleased therewith for you. . ."

It is haraam for a Muslim to accept invitations on such occasions, because this is worse than congratulating them as it implies taking part in their celebrations.
