because...the Christmas trees are evergreens and um...Santa wears red?
i'm guessing -.-
but more symbolically, green is the color associated with youth and everlasting and all that stuff. so there's some connection with life and rebirth or something there.
red i think represents the blood of Jesus 'cause, well, he gave his life to help the people and Christmas is his birthday.

In the liturgical colours of the Catholic church:
Red signifies the blood of martyrdom,
Green signifies the time of growth.
Evergreens & holly have come to symbolize eternal life.

I believe that derives from the early practices of bringing into households the plants that were evergreen ( symbolizing eternal life) which were pines, yews, holly. Yews and holly have red berries.
