My point of view is that it is impermissible simply because it is an act of imitating the disbelievers and a Muslim is always commanded to show disagreement with the disbelievers.
Moreover, celebrating non-Muslim festivals shows a person’s a acceptance of their wrong practices which violate the basic tents of Islam.
If one does not show them what is wrong how should he practice da’wah and how should he enjoin good and forbid evil.
Allah knows best.
