Usually they adapted the customs of the people to make Christianity more palatable to them and hence we got Christmas, Easter...etc.

A look at the history of Christianity would reveal there was a lot of violence and conquering, a lot of shaming, as well as "fire and brimstone" scare tactics used to convince people (and the second two are still widely used to this day).

It was rather a "We convert you or we enslave you." Type of deal for most of history. They'd go in, learn local language and serve as an example of Christian living and Goodwill with education and healthcare offerings. If the natives were not essentially bribed into conversion through this step, then elimination would soon follow. "These savages refuse redemption"
