The Giver loves Christmas best because Christmas is all about giving. The Giver is a book about giving--including memories.
Think back to your own childhood and remember how great the Christmas season is.
If none of us had ever heard about a holiday called Christmas, and a Hollywood producer was approached to make a movie about a time when people give each other presents, sing songs, and are generally happy, the Hollywood producer would say: "It will never sell."
The Giver is all about understanding that our parents and community give us traditions and thoughts to hold in our hands and our hearts. The Giver is also about learning to evaluate those traditions and thoughts and keep some and discard some. The Giver is about cherishing that which we cherish only because it is familar and cherishing that which we understand may be new yet valuable.

I have no idea what the answer is, however, here are the links that can answer your question.
The Giver by Lois Lowry
I have found 7 summaries for you to look at, via the links below.

These links will give you a summary of the book, character analysis, plot and much more, so that you will be able to answer literary questions. A short extract is included as an example of what you can expect from the summary.
Lowry narrates The Giver in third person (“He said,” as opposed to “I said,” which is called first person), using a limited omniscient viewpoint (only Jonas’ thoughts and feelings are revealed). Through Jonas’ eyes, his community appears to be a utopia—a perfect place—that is self-contained and isolated from Elsewhere, every other place in the world. More……..

I know people have already answered this, but I'll answer it anyways.
The Giver starts the giving of memories with the sleigh ride.
Later on in the book, he transmits the memory of Christmas. The memory of Christmas is his favorite. The love and music in the room gives him a warm happy feeling. The family displays love towards one another.

The Giver's favorite memory is a Christmas, because there is family and music and love. Music is the first thing he recieved from the "beyond", like Jonas's colors. And he loves the idea of family and love, and Christmas combines all of those.

I don't think it was the sled ride... the sled ride was just the first memory... an easy one that conveyed a lot of new ideas to Jonas like hills, weather and thrilling fun.

His favorite? I don't remember...
It seems logical that it would be the sled ride...
I'm totally going to check tonight!
