No one knows for sure. The New Testament provides conflicting time frames.

Jesus was born on or before 4BCE, because Herod died 4BCE.

Jesus was born on or after 6CE, because Cyrenius became governor of Syria on 6CE:-

Luke2:2 And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. 2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

However, we do know it was on the Feast of Tabernacles (September-October).

The date in December was chosen by the Catholic Church in the early middle ages because instead of replacing a pagan celebration of the winter solstice they changed the reason for the celebration to the birth of Jesus. Historians think that his actual birthday is in the late Spring or early summer. The clues are in the story. It tells of the Shepherds watching the flocks of sheep and that would take place in warm weather. The census that took place was also done later in the year and the fact that they travelled the way they did also shows it wasn't very cold.

No one knows when Jesus' real birthday was. Some have suggested it could have been in the summer months, because the shepherds were minding their flocks at night. However, this may not really be a guide to Jesus' birthday, as some scholars say that the story of the shepherds is not really true.

The answer as to the correct date is problematic, as we really don't know. Some sources place the date to be between March 28 to May 20 while others somewhere around the end of September. Early January is another time period that has been suggested. Each proponent gives what is claim to reasonable interpretation of known facts and/or likely occurrences to support their view.

Answer

December 25 is not the real birthday of Jesus. It is the birthday of lord Nimrod who ruled for centuries in the BC. After his death his wife said that every December the followers of Nimrod will worship him. It is believed that Jesus was born in the half month of the year because The Bible clearly stated Jesus was 39 and half year old when he died. When means he was possibly born during a summer season like August or July. This a mystery that will be hard to solve.

Jesus' birthday is unknown His birthyear is an approximation 6-4BC based on the start of his ministry 27-29 AD, and an assumed age of 30.

There are also other factors like the death of Herod.

Dec 25th is only a celebration day chosen long ago.

During the time of Jesus, birthdays were not customarily celebrate but rather deaths remembered. The Early Church continued this custom and it was not until the 3rd-4th Century AD that the RC Church developed the date of His birth.

Scripture does not state emphatically but hints to late Autumn 5-4 BC.
