I would probably associate the solstice with Druidism, Paganism, or perhaps Wicca. Although many cultures outside of the indo european cultures also celebrate the solstice--south american/middle american indigenous peoples, australian indigenous peoples, asian/pacific islanders etc...

Generally "Winter Solstice" celebrations are associated with Pagans.

The dates of the solstice were important to rationalize agriculture. So these dates are important to grow wheat.
Wheat is used to make pasta.
When we cook and eat pasta we worship God, the Flying Spaghetti Monster !
Ramen !

Most people would associate it with Paganism. If you want to celebrate Winter Solstice in lieu of Christmas, though, it's your call to make.

Pre-Christian religions and those who think they are "reviving" them but who don't really know what those traditions were like.
