Halichoeres argus
With the row of wavy spots down the lateral line, it's definitely an Argus...
Christmas wrasses/Ornate wrasses are usually Halichoeres ornatissimus. They are very similarly colored, but have more red, and round spots instead of the wavy splotches on the lateral line.

Depends on the "xmas" wrasse. It's been such a hustle that there are several "xmas" wrasse around...
Including..
Thalassoma trilobatum
Halichoeres ornatissimus
Halichoeres claudia
Even Halichoeres melanurus is sold as Xmas sometimes.
Trade names FTL.
