Because the condition was first discovered around Christmas time. The term "Christmas disease" was coined by Dr. Victor McKusick, who first described the condition in a group of boys who were brought to the hospital during the Christmas season. The name stuck because of the time of year it was discovered and the fact that it was a rare condition.
