i think he wrote it because it was at theChristmas period and he wanted something festive. it would be a bit of Christmas entertainment. also calling it twelfth night instantly suggests that it is going to be about Christmas.

Twelfth Night, believed to be written around 1601 - 1602, was like all of Shakespeare's plays, written to be performed by Shakespeare's theatre company. The name suggests that it may have had its debut at a performance at Twelfth Night, although records of such a performance are not available.
