Great list. I'd add the following as well:
Christmas Canon - Trans Siberian Orchestra (non rock version). very pretty version of this classic with a great version on YouTube that has various Christmas light shows in the video.
Handel's Messiah (Hallelujah) - all time legendary Christmas/Easter hymn. Type in "Handel's Messiah or hallelujah random acts of culture Philadelphia" on YouTube and be prepared to get goosebumps. Awesome!!!
O' Holy Night - versions by either Mariah Carey or Vanessa Williams. Both are incredible.

Am I the only one who just can't stand Trans Siberian Orchestra?

No Christmas collection can be complete without what, I think, is the definitive Christmas carol : Carol of the Bells

To be honest with you I had heard of them but don't really know any of their music. I know they do rock versions of a lot of songs but the version I'm referencing isn't rock. It's a beautiful cello/harp/orchestral version of "Christmas Canon" with a children's choir singing. There are several videos of this version all over youtube.
I realise TSO has a rock version but this is actually the only song of theirs I'm familiar with.

Vince G's Charlie Brown Christmas
Nat King Cole's Christmas Album
Almost any version of O Holy Night
and these two:
1. Just because it's Advent and this is my favorite.
2. And this because it is the real one.

It's catchy but doesn't stand up well over time at all, musical junk food.

The entire Christmas CD from the country group Alabama. Christmas in Dixie is awesome.

Great album, but it does not have his rendition of "Oh Holy Night" which is incredible.

This was a solid recommendation. I had never heard it before. It has solidified itself on my X-mas playlist!

i know it's already been mentioned a few times, but I love this album at Christmas time

There are five Christmas albums that come to mind that I think are straight-up legitimately good albums:
