Persians may not celebrate Christmas in the same way as Westerners, but they do have a similar holiday called Nowruz, which is celebrated in early spring. Nowruz is a festival of new beginnings, and it is marked by the arrival of the spring equinox. It is a time for families and friends to gather and celebrate together, often with traditional foods and activities. So while Persians may not celebrate Christmas, they do have their own special holiday that shares some similarities with the season.
