Red and Green are the colors of holly which is the green plant with the little red berries on it in the winter. I'm just guessing, I really don't know.

Because the "red, white and blue" combo was already taken ...
:)
OR:
Green signifies/symbolizes evergreen trees and holly ..... and also:
“Holly is green and also red [berries] and is used to represent Christ’s drops of blood. The Romans used holly to make wreathes to represent the crown of thorns that Christ wore. Druids, the men and women that worship the earth, used holly in the winter to show that during winter when all the trees lose their leaves there is still beauty on earth. They also wore holly in their hair when they went to watch the Pagan priests cut the mistletoe.”
About one hundred to two hundred years after Maria and Clara’s time, German and English people coming to America, brought the Christmas tree tradition with them. Now, four hundred years after Maria and Clara’s time things have changed a lot. Today we still use evergreens at Christmas time, but sometimes now we even use artificial trees.
We use red and green with the tree, decorations, wrapping paper, bows and ribbons. Red and green is used everywhere!
