I can think of one - auld lang syne. Are there any others? Why not? If anything, New Year's is celebrated by everyone whereas Christmas isn't.

    That's true, but you don't really hear them being played once christmas is over

    Jingle bells

    And its ugly cousin, Jingle Bell Rock. "Dancin' and prancin'" is clearly a reference to Santa's reindeer, but it has enough plausible deniability that it could be argued it's not strictly a Christmas song.

    I'm willing to bet that people aren't playing those songs in southern hemisphere winter.

    Jingle Bells was originally drinking song, not related to Christmas at all.

    Nope, it was written for a minstrel show, to mock black folks. The songwriter later moved south to join the confederacy.
