It really doesn't matter. The European winter festival is about surviving winter and having belief that spring will come. It's about lifting spirits of cold miserable people surrounded by death.
Christianity brings the story that a Savior is born among us and to keep hope alive so we shall see the glory of The Lord.
Easter is to inspire you to trust that no matter how awful things look hope can still come from resurrection. Either through the Lord Rising from The Dead, or a magical rabbit leaving gifts in the undergrowth.
Considering the fall feasts and how the Most High has historically done amazing works on all of the appointed feasts, I would lean towards the Fall, in particular aligning with either the feast of Trumpets (announcing the birth of the saviour) or the feast of Booths/Tabernacles ("he came and dwelt/tabernacled among us"). Good point on Zechariah's service as well.
I've heard September, but the point is still valid

Late april - may in my research. The Christmas star may have been a constellation alignment that formed around 3 ad at that time
Also he was likely born a year or two after conventional
From anytime before the jesuits
Or shall we note that Jesus is as real as Father Christmas?
But the Holywood master chosen storytellers have been quite good at their art for almost two millenia?
