Last Christmas by wham
War is over by John Lennon and yoko Ono
I'll be home for Christmas sung by Tate McRae. Unfortunately that one seems like an apple music exclusive. I think it's a nice cover though

You could also try Jingle bells, even though it's not quite as elegant.

White Christmas.

The melody and chords both more complex than the average poppy Christmas song and yet are still musically perfect to me somehow.

The movie is surprisingly good too.

Harry Belafonte - Mary's Boy Child

Somehow I've never heard this one until today, and I loved it. It really is a beautiful song, and I'm not even religious

Harry Belafonte did a good amount of xmas songs, all of them great.

I'm not Christian/religious at all, but I still have a very deep nostalgia for classic Christmas hymns like Silent Night, O Holy Night, etc. I remember sitting beside my tree as a child listening to our music lights playing midis of all of them. The lyrics can be discarded entirely.

Christmas Time - The Darkness

Not that I'm deeply into the darkness (or rock, for that matter), but the darkness brings a breath of fresh air to an otherwise repeated to hell list of music, both in style and melody.
