So @moonshinemagpie just drew my attention to this lovely 80s Japanese Christmas hit, Yamashita Tatsuro's Christmas Eve. Both song and video (the latter a famous ad for JR Central's Xmas Xpress train service) are delightful: the perfect synth arrangement! The missed connections! The rushing through a busy train terminal dropping parcels! The utter joy on her face at the end!
And it occurs to me that, with some rare exceptions*, I really don't know (or share here) very many Christmas/winter pop songs from outside the UK and USA, and should remedy that.
*e.g. Youp van 't Hek's infamous Flappie, which you can hear in the original Dutch or in this English cover by Todd Rundgren, but be aware that it's probably the only Christmas song to require trigger warnings for both animal death and patricide, or to have resulted in a smalltime annual crimewave...!
Ahem. So my request here is: please share your international Christmas/winter pop favourites, and if you'd like to share why they're particularly special to you that would also be lovely. I'd particularly welcome songs not in English, and please don't be deterred from submitting covers either.

Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus is Comin' To Town (Columbia, Promo, 1981) - Illustration by Seymour Chwast
This now-legendary live cover of the Christmas classic was originally released on the second volume of In Harmony, a series of charity albums which donated part of its profits to the Children's Television Workshop (producers of Sesame Street; now Sesame Workshop). It eventually made its way to the B-side of the "My Hometown".

Gwen is a beach boys girly and drives Finney crazy with the Christmas album every December.
Terrence used to hate it, he’s much more of a old country™️ guy. But he’s warmed up to it, she’s seen him mutter-hum along to it.
She also likes the Jackson 5 Christmas album
The 70s and early 80s Christmas albums are the only tolerable covers and good modern original Christmas song(modern is relative)
