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.

Lots of Christmas songs are actually just winter songs.
Frosty the snowman
Jingle bells
Winter wonderland
Sleigh ride
That’s true, but you don’t really hear them being played once christmas is over
After three months, we’re ready for them to go.
I’m willing to bet that people aren’t playing those songs in southern hemisphere winter.
Nope, we only play them in summer at Christmas time. It’s weird when you think about it, but it’s totally normal at the same time.
I think they might. We should find someone from Dunedin.

Jingle bells and sleigh ride reference modern christmas traditions (Santa)
They reference sleighs because they are (were) a practical and fun way of getting around in winter. Sleighs are associated with Santa but the songs aren’t about his sleigh.
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.
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.
