'TV ratings' are a measure of how many viewers a TV show has. 'Boost' means 'increase', and a 'booster' is someone or something that causes an increase. Christmas Day is evidently a day when the star's show is very popular.

Thank you for your reply.
the concerned sentence is like this.

“they killed her off as the Christmas ratings booster“

Can anyone be killed off as the booster?

I suppose it means that the character she played (an evil one?) was killed in the TV story. Many viewers might like to see that.
