Including secular ones, spiritual ones, and a full range of options.

The Friendly Beasts - Traditional, recorded by Garth Brooks, recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary The Gift - written by Stephanie Davis, recorded by Garth Brooks, recorded by Aselin Debison What Child Is This - traditional tune "Greensleeves," words by William Chatterton Dix, recorded by Garth Brooks, although I'm certain Joan Baez could sing it better. I have not heard that yet.
Oh Holy Night and Adeste Fideles were written for a very strong voice that few singers can deliver. Luciano Pavarotti sings them especially well.

I'd say Silent Night and O Holy Night are the two "classics" I'm not sick and tired of yet. I also make it a tradition to listen to Handel's Messiah every year, so that one. The Charlie Brown album is a great album, Christmas or not. Little Drummer Boy was a favorite as a kid because my dad was a drummer and I used to enjoy imitating him. O Come All Ye Faithful and Do You See What I See? can be really good with a great performance. Trans-Siberian Orchestra also put on a hell of a show (I've seen them once), so I also picked that.
Two notables you left out:
I also rather enjoyed Taylor Swift's new Christmas song:

I'm not seeing my favorite on your list, "Ring Christmas Bells". It's also called "Carol of the Bells". Years ago I tripped on this song when I was high as a kite and it's been my favorite ever since. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_of_the_BellsYes, I really like that one. I should have included it. I'm thinking it's probably included on the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert pieces. If not, sorry.

I’ve always liked ‘Joy to the World’.

Surprise leaders right now in Silent Night and O Come All Ye Faithful. Kind of surprised with Handel and Drummer Boy tied for third. So, will the frontrunners win this race?

O Holy Night all of those songs listed, but no... O Holy Night
It's hard to go wrong with Pavarotti in general. but when he's paired with a strong song, it's just greatness.

The best Christmas song is The Christmas Song and I'm not seeing it on the list. ><

Sleigh Ride is one of my favorites. Silver Bells is good in some versions but not so much in others.

I think he mislabeled it as "O Night Divine," which is a line from O Holy Night. Two awesome versions of that song:
