Okay, done it.

Delete the vlc-xmas.png file in VLC.app (Show Package Contents)>Contents>Resources

Thanks, but could a check box (Christmas icon yes or no) not be added in preferences?

Yes, go to Preferences, click on "Show All", then on the left on Interface -> Main Interfaces -> macosx and disable the "Allow icon to be changed".

After a restart of VLC, the hat is gone.
