Set your computer date to December 25. Neither trapped chest or double trapped chest switch their texture to match ordinary chests textures (that on Christmas resemble presents).

I don't think they did it intentionally- they probably just forgot about the christmas textures when they added trapped chests. Given that trapped chest is supposed to look very similar to a regular chest, intentionally not changing its texture as well is an odd decision.
Although it does still apply, I'm going to have to agree with the others ones and say that its intended. Both the regular chests and trapped chests are seperate blocks, so if it has to have a christmas theme, then it needs to share the data ID of minecraft:chest, but with a data value.
Screenshot from 1.8.2-pre1: Still is the same
The trapped chest should get a christmas cover as well since it would stick out on any map played on christmas.
Since the chest and trapped chest texture are similar, but not the same this could also be done for the christmas chest and make eg. the red a little bit different or get another buckle or something like that

They are a separate chest added after the Christmas chests were added. I believe this to be working as intended.
