Gabriel visited Mary to tell her that she had been chosen to bear Jesus (Luke 1:26-38). The angel who announced the birth of Christ to the shepherds is not named (Luke2:8-15). Matthew's gospel doesn't name any of the angels involved in events surrounding Jesus' birth. Mark and John do not record these angelic visits.
