Guilty by association.
A Christmas tree is a Christmas symbol the same as a chanukiah is a Hanukah symbol. Each is associated with the respective holiday, to the point where it is hard to disassociate a pine tree trimmed with lights (even if they are blue & white) from Christmas. Since it is tied to a Christian holiday it becomes a Christian symbol.
