Supposedly, Hearth's Warming = Christmas.
No it does NOT!
Christmas is supposed to be about the birth of Jesus. Watch A Charlie Brown Christmas if you don't know that.
Per the S2 E11 episode, Hearth's Warming Eve, it is about the tribes coming together to drive off the Wendigos and found a nation which (I suppose) eventually became Equestria.
This is the US holiday of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is more than a harvest festival & most of the rest of the world doesn't really have an equivalent holiday.
Yes, in later seasons the show reimagined the holiday to be more like Christmas but this ain't what it started out as.
