The holiday of Christmas is paganised Christianity which comes from the Roman empire, Catholicism. Jesus was not born on December 25th. The same is true for Easter which comes from the pagan goddess Ishtar.

I am pretty sure Messianic Judaism does not excommunicate per say.
And why couldn’t you celebrate two holidays at the same time?

You know the old joke - 4 Jews in a room with 5 opinions?
Most messianics take Sukkot as the birth time of Messiah. A sizable minority believe it was during Chag ha Matzot. But the truth is the Roman records of that census/ tax collection were stored in Pompeii and burned up when that volcano blew. So we cannot know for sure.
IOW, if it were important, G-d would have had the date preserved; but He did not. So I do not think it matters that much when (or even IF) we celebrate His birth. (which was not a classic Jewish tradition anyway)
