This is just my guess, but in Japan, people tend to view Christmas as a special occasion for couples. For those who are still single, this is likely the time when they are anxious to find themselves a partner to spend Christmas with. Hence Eros (and Cupid) kind of makes sense in this context. The event description also seems to suggest this interpretation:

People are starting to get restless. Christmas is on its way, the time of year when you hold your loved ones close. Some folks are already starting to plan how they're going to spend Christmas, and who they're going to spend it with. o: didn't realize that it was viewed that way in Japan. Here, Christmas is viewed as either overly commercialized or as just a time of general joy. That makes sense ^^ thanks! (I already read the event description, but I didn't realize the significance of it xD)
