If you wanted to (though clearly you do not) you could easily find the many parallels. They include Krishna (called "God" and "Son of God" and "Saviour"), Romulus (born of a Vestal Virgin), Dionysus (born of a virgin on -- gasp! -- December 25 and placed in a manger), Attis of Phrygia, also born on Dec 25, saviour of mankind, body eaten as bread by followers, crucified on a tree, resurrected after 3 days, Horus, born of the virgin Isis around the winter solstice (you know when that is, don't you?)....
The list goes on. You're just not interested in knowing.
Krishna
Matthew would not have known about Krishna, who BTW was not born of a virgin. He was the eighth child of Devaki, all fathered by her husband.
Devaki
”In light of his traditional summer, rainy-season birth, the contention made by several writers over the past couple of centuries that Krishna was born on "December 25th" or the winter solstice appears to be a mistake.”
Was Krishna Born on December 25th?
When Julius Caesar reformed the Roman calendar with the help of an astronomer, it was discovered that the winter solstice was no longer on January 1 but was now on December 25.
Roman Calendar
The winter solstice is the beginning of the solar years, after which the days get longer. All religious festivals and the like that were related to the winter solstice would be reported as being on December 25. No surprise that it shows up, or is claimed to show up, in religious contexts.
At this point, we should take into account that December 25 did not get associated with the birth of Jesus until the 4th century, after other proposals were made. Not only is this irrelevant to the subject at hand which is the virgin birth, it is something Matthew would have been ignorant of.

Romulus
Romulus and Remus, who were not gods or even a demi-gods, were supposedly the sons of Mars. But in the time of Matthew, Livy’s
Ab Urbe Condita Libri was the primary source of the history of Rome. In it, Livy speculated that it there was no divine involvement, that this claim was made to cover up an ordinary mortal affair. This is the last thing Matthew would want to bring up.

Dionysus
Oddly enough, Dionysus was really born of his father Zeus. His mother had been killed by a trick of the jealous Hera. Zeus rescued the fetus and sewed him into his thigh until he was ready to be born. His mother Semele is not married and presumably a virgin. Nevertheless, her virgin status has no importance in the story.
Semele - Wikipedia
Dionysus was not crucified but torn apart by Titans. Being the god of wine, he was associated with the growth of the grape in spring, this being considered his rebirth. His death was associated with the harvesting of the grape in the fall. The ‘resurrection’ was not after three days but after several months. This was an annual cycle. The resurrection of Jesus is somewhat unique in that it is a one-time event, unusual for typical dying-reborn gods.
Dionysus
I am unable to find in any credible academic source giving December 25 as the birth date of Dionysus or any of the multitude of exotic claims about Dionysus. Can you provide any? In respect to that, may I suggest that any source that says that a birthday of December 25 linking some god to Jesus is automatically disqualified as credible on the basis of being ignorant of that subject.
Attis
Attis was a vegetation god. The festivities concerning his birth were in the spring, not the winter. The supposed resurrection of Attis as part of the spring rites in any manner resembling the resurrection story in the Gospels did not appear unit after 300 AD.

Apparently, the consumption of bread and wine was
forbidden during the Attis festival, because they were the products of agriculture and would be identifiable with the god.
Mystery Religions—Tammuz and Adonis, Attis and Cybele
As with the winter solstice subject above, Attis is unrelated to the topic of the discussion, virgin birth.
Isis
The claim that Isis was a virgin is simply not the case. Isis was married to Osiris and had other children by him. To conceive Horus after Osiris was dead, she needed his reconstructed body and a magic phallus to take the place of his missing one.
Osiris - Wikipedia
The earliest reference I was ever able to find that referred to Isis as a virgin was from
Madame Blavatsky.
It is because I am interested in learning that I do real research. I recommend that approach to everyone.
