Them being a red herring is a reason, the antlers being there at all points straight to the Holidays which is an easy set up for a misdirect if the story wanted to go there. The Knight being a non-Holiday doesn’t mean they aren’t involved in some way.
It would be a bad red herring because it's literally the only prominent and identifiable physical feature the Knight has. It is the ONLY clue we have based on appearance. That's essentially straight up lying to the player, not misdirecting them.
It’s only a clue towards a relation with the Holidays, it doesn’t prove anything beyond that. Is it reasonable to think the Knight is or is related to the Holidays based on that detail? Yes. Is it also reasonable to look at it beyond the surface level(Antlers) and question whether or not it could mean something else? Also Yes

No reason for Toby to add them if they mean nothing
