Citizen Kane is not really Christmasy unless you want to make a grander point.

There's a small element of Christmas, of course, within the text. The important moment where we see the sled in young Kane's hands as an 8 year old is around Christmas, and that's the last moment that Kane was ever truly happy. In fact, it is the lack of what Christmas is emblematic of, family, love, happiness, etc., that Kane is missing in his life and what he tries to fill it with and tragically never quite figures out how to do.

So...would I put the sled in the Aisle of Noel...? Not idly.
