The success of Christianity in Europe is in how well it moulds to the ideology and practices that Europeans already had, while still not being heretical.
A day for Saturn, another one for sol invictus? Okay, now it's a day for Jesus. And also, it wasnt saturnalia that coincided with christmas, it was the day of sol invictus. We don't actually know when his birthday was, I doubt he'd send us to hellfire for praising him on one day instead of another. What's wrong with doing this? It's not like we're sacrificing children to Jesus. Jesus Christ supplanting sol invictus as the invincible sun actually seems apt to me.
Why is his birthday December 25th? His birthday wasnt recorded until the 400s. By the roman government, which was already converted. So it was probably to legitimize him to the cult of sol invictus, already among the first Europeans to convert due to the similarities between sol invictus and Christ, further. This does not mean that were worshipping Saturn or sol invictus by having Christmas on the 25th of December, it means the exact opposite.
