It is not, good lord. We were meant to continue following God's commandments and Jesus stated that repeatedly. All talk and/or interpretation of His ministry into meaning the death of the Law is sourced from Paul.
That's very Christianly humble of you sir, to think you know better than God what pleases Him. We should be celebrating them. He set those holy days for a reason, and we humans twisted the words of Paul to put a torch to both them and many of His other commandments. Jesus, His only Son and "avatar" on Earth, told us not a jot, nor a tittle would be removed from the Law, until heaven and earth pass. He told us to do His Father's commandments. And yet you say you know better than God and Jesus what they wish for us to do, what is "superior".
Easter and Christmas are both pagan-derived holidays. And to top it all off, God abhors asherim — trees set up as idols. Jesus wasn't even born in December, he was born during one of the Jewish feasts, likely Tabernacles. I don't see how they're superior at all.
The Book of Hebrews was all about getting "Jewish" believers in Jesus away from their dead religion of Judaism, and getting them to the place where they had a new, vibrant and real life outside of mindless tradition.
God promised to cut away the dead wood - and his parable of the tenants illustrate that perfectly.

Yes it is. Christians do not celebrate Jewish holidays and feasts, such as Passover, Purim, Succoth, Hannukah, or Rosh Hashanah.
The old has passed away - replaced by the new, and the superior.
