Actually it is widely believed that Jesus's birthday is April 17 25 BCE.

really, seems like the prevailing consensus was that it didn't happen on this date, but there was another pagan holiday that they could celebrate in secret

Jesus was clearly born around September/October. The Bible records no birthdate but he died on Passover which we do have a date for. He (supposedly) was 33.5 years old which would be a fall birthday and the weather related reports of the time of his birth align with September/October.

This, of course, is referring to the Historical Jesus under the assumption that the non-theological aspects of the Gospels is accurate. Any attempt to figure out an actual birthdate of a person who very possibly never existed is a fools errand.
