I used to go to their show every year when it came into town. 7, maybe 8 years in a row. Then the kids got older, made plans with their friends...we stopped going. I miss it.

And of course, it can't be Christmas without

Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses

Yeah! I like TSO! I've been to their Christmas concert, it's awesome.

Reminds me of this. We go to a local (very excellent) production every year.
Handel's Messiah ~ Kings College Cambridge
Technically, it's not Christmas music. It's Easter Music. However, it is often played around Christmas.

Carol of the Bell ~ Mormon Tabernacle Choir

Nearly any Advent hymn in an old-school Protestant hymnal

Yes! Yes, yes, yes!

We do a "Lessons and Carols" service (usually the first Sunday after Christmas) which I really enjoy.
