What Broadway-related songs have something/anything to do with winter/Christmas/Thanksgiving/Hanukah ? They can be ensemble, duet, solo, for male or female voices it doesn't matter I just need some to suggest for a vocal concert at the end of December... So far I have:
Turkey Lurkey Time
Christmas Bells
I've drawn a blank. I know there has to be more. Have any ideas?

"Applause begets applause in the theatre, as laughter begets laughter and tears beget tears."
CLAYTON HAMILTON, "Theory of the Theatre"
"I think theater ought to be theatrical ... you know, shuffling the pack in different ways so that it's -- there's always some kind of ambush involved in the experience. You're being ambushed by an unexpected word, or by an elephant falling out of the cupboard, whatever it is."

It was 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' that was made famous in Meet Me in St. Louis.
The most popular and famous recording of 'I'll be Home for Christmas' was done by Bing Crosby. The song expresses the sentiment of the soldiers who were away at war at the time.

"It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas" from HERE'S LOVE.
Actually, Meredith Willson wrote it as a pop tune years before the show, so it was already well-known when the show opened.
