Solid list, especially your #1 pick.

More Christmas songs I enjoy:

Anything by TSO, like Christmas Eve/Sarajevo, and this one (Christmas Canon)

Cloverton's version of A Hallelujah Christmas

Little Drummer Boy by For King and Country

or by Josh Groban (my fave Groban song, even more than O Holy Night), but the video is meh

And one I first heard last year, though it's been out since 2005 - Here With Us by Joy Williams

Good choices. Andrea Bocelli’s Christmas album is fantastic too.
