Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

Rachel calls Chandler "Linus" here because Linus is the name of a Charlie Brown character who talks about "the true meaning of Christmas" in A Charlie Brown Christmas. Therefore, she calls him Linus because he doesn't want them to open their gifts yet, and that seems like something the character Linus would say in A Charlie Brown Christmas.
