Christmas celebrates the birth of Christianity's saviour, Jesus Christ. Chanukah celebrates a military victory and the miracle that followed it of one day's worth of oil lasting eight days. Kwanzaa celebrates qualities that one tries to develop to be a good citizen and person. That said, they do have one thing in common: all are holidays that occur in midwinter and celebrate use light to celebrate, alleviating the depths of the dark short days of winter and signalling that Spring will eventually come.
