Winter Wonderland. Here is a Community Dance, square dance version, but it
is a 32 bar tune and will work with contras.

I've danced to Jingle Bells a couple of times (as Alan suggested), and
think I remember doing a mixer to Gloria in Excelsis Deo. Any other ideas?

In my experience, choosing dances because their titles fit a particular
theme isn't the best way to make programs.
For Christmas holiday dances I'm used to bands slipping familiar holiday
tunes into their regular sets. (Jingle Bells fits in nicely as a bouncy
tune. Several carols can be played as waltzes.) You can also playfully
alter the names of dances you'd want to call anyway to make them fit the
theme.
