Yule
Christmas is celebrated around the world on the 25th of December. It has a number of commonalities with several Pagan holidays but as Yule is still being celebrated (at the Winter Solstice, on or about the 21st of December), I don't see that it has been replaced. ANSWER its not the winter solstice it repalces, they just happen to be around the same time In ancient Babylon, the feast of the Son of Isis (Goddess of Nature) was celebrated on December 25, it was a time of party hard and drinking and basically merriment

The winter solstice is a festival celebrated near the time of Christmas -- December 21st this year (2012). The winter solstice celebration goes back to before Christianity and is probably the reason the time for Christmas was chosen, since it's clear from the story of his birth Jesus was actually born in a mild season.
The shortest day of the year is the winter solstice which occurs on December 21st. The winter solstice is when the pagan holiday Yule is celebrated. The celebration is the birth of the holly king and is celebrated in a similar fashion as Christmas.
