Morphology
The meaning 'a shade of green associated with Christmas' is directly compositional from 'Christmas' (the holiday) + 'green' (a color); the adjective-noun combination transparently denotes a color linked to that holiday. This is a predictable, common descriptive pattern that a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand.
Etymology
Christmas green is the name for the shade of green of fir trees, holly and other plants seen at Christmas. So when something is called Christmas green, it means the green color that feels like the holiday season.
