Unfortunately Channukah doesn't really have any decent songs, Adam Sandler not withstanding.
All of the best Jewish writers wrote most of the best Christmas songs:
* Let it snow, by Sammy Cahn (Cohen) and Jule Styne (Stein)
* The Christmas Waltz, by Sammy Cahn (Cohen) and Jule Styne (Stein)
* Winter Wonderland, by Felix Bernard (Bernhardt)
* The Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting...) by Robert Wells (Levinson) and Mel Tormé
* Sleigh Ride, by Mitchell Parish (Hyman)
* It's the Most Wonderful time of the year, by George Wyle (Weissman)
* Silver Bells, by Jay Livingston (Levinson) and Ray Evans
* There's no place like home for the holidays, by Bob Allen (Robert Allen Deichter) and Al Stillman (Albert Silverman)
* I'll be home for Christmas, by Walter Kent (Kauffman) and Buck Ram (Samuel)
* Santa baby, by Joan Ellen Javits (Zeeman) niece of Senator Jacob Javits
* Baby it's cold outside, by Frank Loesser
* Have yourself a merry little Christmas, by Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin
* Santa Claus is coming to town, by Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie
* Jingle Bell Rock, by Joseph Carleton Beal, James Ross Boothe
* Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, Rocking around the Christmas Tree, Have a Holly Jolly Christmas by Johnny Marks
* the Little drummer boy, by Katherine K. Davis, Henry V. Onorati, Harry Simeone
* Silver Bells, by Jay Livingston, Ray Evans
* Frosty the Snowman, by Steve Nelson, Walter E. Rollins
* It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, by Meredith Wilson
* Blue Christmas, by Billy Hayes, Jay W. Johnson
Oooh.. thanks for the reminder Jeff Dowler
* White Christmas by Irving Berlin (Beilin)... not only Jewish, but his father was a Cantor in a Synagogue.

I do not like hearing Christmas songs before Thanksgiving but I've been known to belt them out on occasion, regardless of the season.
Little Drummer Boy with Bing Crosby and David Bowie is one of my tops.
