What is the ruling on the sweets that are gifted among Muslims on the festivals of the Christians?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. What is gifted of these sweets from a Muslim to a Muslim, meaning among Muslims who are not committed, they gift these sweets that they make to their Muslim relatives.

The Shaykh : Meaning ... to the Muslims, on the contrary.

The questioner : Commitment is not present, so the Muslims themselves make these festivals, meaning they celebrate with the Christians.

The Shaykh : Ah?

The questioner : They celebrate with the Christians.

The Shaykh : This is not permissible. This is the Shaykh's statement.

The questioner : Yes, so they make these sweets that the Christians make and gift them to their relatives.

The Shaykh : To their relatives from the Christians.

The questioner : From the Christians, and also, meaning this is the first image and the second image is that if we visit them, they gift, meaning.

The Shaykh : The point is that these people participated with the Christians in the festival, without doubt, whether they gifted to the Christians or gifted to the Muslims. Meaning, for us to show joy and happiness and make sweets ... food, this is not permissible.
