“Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies”
More likely because it was used in I Believe in Father Christmas.
Once again, that’s from the ballet “The Nutcracker”, which is placed in the setting of a Christmas celebration, and the fantastical events that occur during the folloing night. By definition, everything from The Nutcracker, and The Nutcracker Suite has to do with Christmas.
There’s always the Adam Sandler Hannukah bit…
au contraire, these are the 80s we’re talking about, it was all about the vid. But I see Sarahfeena’s already got my back.
Wouldn’t “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” be an example of this? Though it has Christmas in the title, it comes from the movie Meet Me In St. Louis.
Judy Garland is singing not about the holiday season, but about missing friends and family.
Plus, it is damn depressing. And they even cleaned it up a bit so people wouldn’t jump off a bridge after seeing it.
Call me when someone starts playing “Levon” during the holidays 
In this vein, I nominate “We Need a Little Christmas,” from the play Gigi.

Dan Folgleberg’s Same Auld Lang Syne. I just heard it today and realised that I only ever hear it this time of year.

Dude! I’m in freakin’ Norway, it’s December 2nd, and the grass is still G-R-E-E-N. The ski resorts are bellyaching because even in the mountains it’s too cold to fire up the snow guns and fake it.

Well, that, and the fact that it’s not Advent until tomorrow so all my neighbors haven’t put the obligatory Advent stars in the windows yet.
