I lead a trad folk fusion project- we've got a lot of holiday gigs coming up this year, but honestly none of us are fans of christmas music and the thought of doing multiple 2 hour gigs of pure christmas music makes me want to gouge my eyes out (lol)...

We love adapting a wide range of music to fit our small band (vocalists, guitar, viola, accordion)- from madrigals to old time, sea shanties to modern americana, instrumentals, american folk music, the pogues... we did a Krampus festival a few years ago... it's a pretty wide net. :)

What are your favorite traditional tunes (can be non-english) that would fit a non-traditional holiday gig set at wineries, craft fairs, etc? I'm thinking Sankta Lucia, Solstice Carol, maybe a guitar/fiddle carol of the bells cover, yule songs, general winter songs.... Thanks for the suggestions! Can't wait!
