Like Christmas is a holiday Eid is not. You cannot fulfill every socalled demand of minority rights. Ridiculing others religion is definitely not a right. If you lack basic morals you would resort to abuse.
Give majority full freedom of speech and it can be like below.
A majority start abusing minority and make it social norm. You name it freedom of speech I would say it is sort of racism.
If law forbids minority from ridiculing other religions, majority should also follow it.

I have no problem with a Muslim majority nation celebrating Eid as a Holiday not Christmas. For someone who has lived in Pakistan for so long the Holiday holds a secular connotation. Same goes for Christmas in historically Christian majority states. The problem arises when you punish people for eating in public in Ramazan because now you’re forcing a hardship on them for the sake of your religion. A holiday is hardly a hardship.

Majority abuses minority in Pakistan all the time. Shias and Ahmedis are killed on a regular basis. Curtailing freedom of speech does not reduce violence, education does, real education.
