December the 21st is the solstice in actual fact, regardless of religions,it's an astronomical thing. As mentioned below, however, the date of Christianity is more likely from the Roman festival of the Sol Invictus.
There is, as far as I know, no evidence at all for the date of the birth of Jesus. Christmas wasn't celebrated at all until about the 3rd century because Jews didn't celebrate birthdays. Any attempt to relate the Star of Bethlehem to a real astronomical event is not only highly speculative but highly missing the point.
