As far as America, we have some enduring holiday songs like "Jingle Bell Rock", "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year", and "Holly Jolly Christmas".

Recently, over the last 30 years or so, I believe some songs have entered this canon. Mariah Carey's annual hit is an obvious choice, as well as George Michael's. Who else?

An overseas example: the Swedish joke song "Juligen" (Christmas again) by Just D is pretty popular on the radio every year, and it's comparatively young, from 1991.
