  Fountains of Wayne - Alien for Christmas.
  
  Not Christmas in our house till we've played that and all sung our heads off.

  I don't think so - but I haven't double checked! I reckon you can claim those.

  If cover songs can be included:
  White Christmas - Guns'n'Roses
  Santa Claws - Alice Cooper (cover version of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town)
  Twisted Sister have a lot of heavy metal style versions of Christmas songs
  
  Also:
  Winter Song - Ronan Keating or the original by Sara Bareilles & Ingrid Michaelson
  It's Only Christmas - Ronan Keating (even if you don't like Ronan Keating, give this song a try. The lyrics are just perfect, especially if you have ever found Christmas difficult or lost a loved one)
  Ring Them Bells - Bob Dylan

  I'll Be Home by Meghan Trainor - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P8RU_dHyi4
  
  Pentatonix have some good albums with Christmas songs and covers, I like this mash-up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijFjezcPNoc
  
  And not a song in the traditional sense as it's meant to be comedy, but I think White Wine in the Sun by Tim Minchin is beautiful - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCNvZqpa-7Q
