In practice, would that be like being atheist but still celebrating Hannukah or Christmas?

Or is it just Jewish heritage from a lineage perspective regardless of one's perspective/practice on religion/god?

The Jewish religion is entirely separate from the Jewish ethnicity.

There may be a good amount of overlap but one can be ethnically Jewish and not religiously Jewish (Woody Allen), and likewise one can be religiously Jewish but not ethnically Jewish (Ivanka Trump).

Sincerely, a Jewish atheist who celebrates Christmas.

Lineage plus culture. There's a lot of unique Jewish culture that has developed over the centuries. Some of it has spread to the general public- bagels, the word "schmuck," etc.
