soheil1Why not in?
Emotion: tongue tied Why do you think "in" would be better?

No. Sorry. Not possible. In English we don't use "in" with days, including holidays. You can't say "in Monday", "in Christmas", "in Easter", etc.

You could say "on" Christmas, but "for" is more common.

I see your confusion. If that is what you mean, you could say "during", but it will sound awkward.
