My three must-haves as "Gaudette" , "Solstice Bells" & "I Believe in Father Christmas" but aren;t in the remit
How about Julia Fordham's "Christmas in London"

Probably too well known but David Essex's "Only a Winter's Tale"

The Saturdays also did a cover of that for the Get Santa soundtrack in late 2014. I think it was the last song they recorded together.

The original is a classic
a winters tale by Freddie mercury and queen one of the last songs he wrote before he died .its worth a listen on you tube 
One of their songs has already been mentioned.
But I would also recommend 'Peace At Least' by the Rotary Connection.

There are a wide number of Folk Songs about Christmas which would now be considered as not well known.
Such as The Carnal and the Crane, or Chistmas Time is now at hand, or On Christmas Day, when a man found Ploughing on that day is smote to death by a vengeful Jesus for such disrespectful behaviour.
