You shouldn't name your beta if you think it will deanon you, but you should at least acknowledge them (even if not by name).

Only if your thanks to your beta is like "thank you, bestie Rainbowsocks!" and there are five fics in the fandom and they're all you and Rainbowsocks beta-ing for each other.

With yuletide the options for your author are often "this is another member of my small friend group" or "my nom hooked a new person!!!" and if the beta gives away A you have very much reduced the pool of possibilities.

If it's a hippo beta or smth sure it's probably fine but there are enough general warnings out there that a lot of people don't anyway.
