There are differing opinions as to what year December 25th was chosen to celebrate as the birth of Jesus, but the most likely time would have to be sometime between 170-236 AD. This was probably instituted to incorporate Christmas with the pagan festival dies natalis solis invicti, meaning the birth of the invincible sun god.
