The historical Jesus was probably born in the fall or spring, not winter. The date of December 25 as Jesus' birthday was chosen by the Roman Catholic Church in the 4th century.
The exact reason why they chose this date is still debated, but it is generally accepted that they chose it to coincide with the major Roman pagan feast of Saturnalia which was already on December 25. This was likely done to help pagans easily convert from celebrating Saturnalia to celebrating Christmas as they were converted to Christianity.
