The British Library has published 3 Xmas themed anthologies, the quality of the stories varies, but I would still recommend them.
Christmas at the Mysterious Bookshop edited by Otto Penzler is an excellent anthology featuring stories from contemporary crime writers such as Lawrence Block or Anne Perry.
If you like Sherlock Holmes, there are two older anthologies: Holmes for the Holidays and More Holmes for the Holidays. The stories are not startlingly original but there are worse pastiches.
The Late Clara Beame by Taylor Caldwell is more of a thriller but takes place around Christmas and New Year.
You may also take a look at this blog post, where the blogger Kate Jackson has ranked her favourite Christmas mysteries:
