I'd say Halloween is the most pagan. It's relatively unreconstructed from Samhain in a lot of places. The church plopped All Saints the next day to try to overshadow it.
Everyone has a spring festival somewhere, and Christmas was calculated early on based on traditions about when Easter was and other stuff. It was just a pretty minor day until the Western church wanted to absorb Solstice and Saturnalia festivals in various places.
