Buddy Holly was born on September 7, 1936 and died on February 3, 1959. Buddy Holly would have been 22 years old at the time of death or 78 years old today.
There is no clear evidence that Buddy Holly was an influence on the Beatles since they did not record any of his songs. The Beatles would appear to have been more influenced by Chuck Berry. Still, Buddy Holly was one of the great early rock and roll stars, and it would be logical to think that he must have had at least some influence on all the rock and roll musicians who came after him, including the Beatles.

It is a shame that Buddy Holly died so young, because he undoubtedly would have become even more famous than he did. His main achievement was having a number of hit songs in the early years of rock & roll, as a member of the rockabilly group Buddy Holly & the Crickets, and as a solo artist. His two biggest were probably "That'll Be the Day" (with the Crickets) and "Peggy Sue" (as a solo artist). To this day, his hit songs from the 1950s are still performed by contemporary rock and country performers.
Unfortunately he did not record any Christmas songs.
