Islam is a global religion, and part of many cultures. Cultural practices vary a great deal from place to place. In many places, Muslims have adopted some local practices that are not Islamic. Islam has only two feasts: Eid al-Adha (the Feast of the Sacrifice, commemorating God's decision not to require the sacrifice of Prophet Abel, God bless him and grant him peace) and Eid al-Fitr (the Feast of Fast-Breaking, celebrating the end of Ramadan, the month of Islamic fasting.) On feast days, Muslim dress in new clothes to offer a special congregational prayer during the morning, and then spend the day relaxing with family and friends. They have a big dinner which includes some of the meat of a sheep that has been sacrificed earlier in the day (the rest of the meat goes to the poor) and visit each other. Often Muslims give their children (and other people's) gifts of cash or toys. Picnics and trips to amusement parks are also popular.

No special rituals for food styles to eaten by Muslims during their festivals. The important requirement is that food and drink types should be of that allowed by God in Quran and/or the prophet in his sayings and practices. See related question, listed below, for more details.

First we go to eid prayers then after the prayers the women hug each other and the men hug each other and say "Eid Mubarak" later on the women can say eid mubarak to the men but cant hug them same for the men some parties after that. We have some parties after the eid prayers we invite some of our close friends and celebrate that. I for got to say you have to dress up in your newest,bestest,and fanciest clothes and before you go to prayers you have to eat something and drink something anything. but in our religion pork and wine and beer is haram meaning we cant have it. We have Eid after Ramadan in that parents have to fast eeveryday which is a month lets say they didnt fast for 3 days later on after Ramadan and Eid is over they have to fast 3 days. For Fasting you wake up before sunrise which is about 4:00 or 5:00 eat a whole bunch of stuff and drink a whole bunch of stuff (theres no certain thing). before its time to pray Fajr one of our 5 prayers. then when you start fajr which you have to read to fast you can not eat or drink anything until sunsets you eat after its time to read Magrib another one of our five prayers. its a good thing to start eating with a date because our prophet Mohammed did that. Most people go to Tharavi that is a prayer for Eid its a veruy very good thing if you go to pray it some people pray it at home that is good too. On the last day of Ramadan you have to look at the moon if it is a full moon eid will be tomorrow and the day you have the full moon will be Chand Rat if its not a full moon then Eid will be the day after tomorrow and Chand Rat will be tomorrow!

Jesus (peace be upon him) is described by the Qur'an as - & is recognised & revered by Muslims as - a major & final Jewish Prophet, the Jewish Messiah, & a Messenger from God/Allah (but only as a man, not - in any way or sense - the son of God/Allah, a member of a divine trinity, or a divine being), e.g:
"O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three". Cease! (it is) better for you! Allah is only One God. Far is it removed from His transcendent majesty that he should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender." Qur'an, 4:171
"The Messiah, son of Mary, was no other than a messenger, messengers (the like of whom) had passed away before him. And his mother was a saintly woman. And they both used to eat (earthly) food. See how we make the revelations clear for them" Qur'an, 5:75

The Qur'anic stories of the conception & birth of Jesus (peace be upon him), however, are significantly different from, & far less elaborate than, the New Testament stories. They are also free of the many non-Jewish motifs that historians & scholars have found in the New Testament stories, nor do they contain dateable references (nor mention Joseph), e.g:
"She (Mary) said: How can I have a son when no mortal hath touched me, neither have I been unchaste! He said: So (it will be). Thy Lord saith: It is easy for Me. And (it will be) that We may make of him a revelation for mankind and a mercy from Us, and it is a thing ordained. And she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a place. And the pangs of childbirth drove her unto the trunk of the palm tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died ere this and had become a thing of naught, forgotten!" Qur'an, 19:20-23

Additionally, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) discouraged Muslims from celebrating birthdays (including his own), other anniversaries (whether by the solar or lunar/Islamic calendar), or, indeed, any festivals other than the end of the fasting month of Ramadan & the time of the Hajj/Pilgrimage to Makkah.

As a result of all these factors, there is no Christmas celebration in Islam, & most Muslims do not celebrate Christmas in any way.

Having said all that, however, many Muslims are happy to join in many of the Christmas celebrations of Christian friends, colleagues &/or neighbours, in a spirit of friendship, community, &/or mutual respect.
