Travelling Wilburys comes to mind. Nice progless song. As such, disqualified.

Much harder to find Chanukkah prog. Chappy Chanukkah (say that five times fast, really clears the throat)!
P.S. When I was a kid, I was perplexed by the lack of well-known Chanukkah songs, so my dad wrote Bruce Bruce the Hanukkah Moose. It started off as a simple rhyming song, and turned into a children's book, featuring a CD with narration and singing from my dad and yours truly (at 8 years old). Not prog though, more folk-singer klezmer.

In no way is that elevator music. You must be thinking of "your own special way."

A Christmas Camel by Procol Harum sounds Christmas-like.
I mean...calling it prog is a stretch, but ya know, it's Procol Harum, so I'm mentioning it.

There's always A PROGGY CHRISTMAS - THE PROG WORLD ORCHESTRA if you like Neal Morse and Transatlantic.
Joy to the World & Carol of the Bells are both pretty cool !

Captain Beefheart - Old Fart At Play (the imagery used describing momma in the kitchen with lard and a rolling pin, gorgeous gingham, dust n dough balls...)
Frank Zappa - Inca Roads (Dukes' mellotron solo and Ruth's vibraphone parts have an undeniable holiday feel to them IMHO) Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo (Title track sounds like something you'd have on in the background at the Christmas Day family gathering, everyone hustling around and preparing, family lounging and chatting, etc. - it's the mood and tone it sets!). Basically anything brass-heavy or bell heavy lol.

I think Pendragon have a nostalgic, optimistic energy that would perfectly suit a Christmas song if they ever did one.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Magma - Hortz Fur Dëhn Santa Klaus Blasquiz
Seriously, can’t think of much. Magma KA III has an Allëhlüïa chorus, and the album KA can be quite joyous, and some of the Magma music is joyous for Christmas. I’ve played Magma’s Dondai To an eternal love) on Christmas and it is a marmite track off quite a marmite album. I’ve also played Comus on Christmas. “Winter is a Coloured Bird” is quite apt for the season. EDIT: I think a lot of Canterbury Scene music and Prog Folk is good for Christmas. Agree with Gryphon. Caravan's Winter Wine has some season flair to it. And Art Bears' Winter Songs in the RIOish camp. Edited by Logan - December 13 2020 at 14:18 |

It's more of a general winter song than specifically a Christmas song, but I managed to have "Snowbound" by Genesis put on a Christmas playlist by fooling friends into thinking that it's just a cozy song about a snowman.

Last Christmas (...oh, that makes me think of a song...) Pallas issued a digital only collection of "Christmassy mixes" on their bandcamp page: Christmas on the Edge of Time With two or three songs you got your potatoes pealed... |

Holy Lamb - Yes Although the song is at Big Generator which is doubtfully a prog album.

I always thought it odd that Alex Lifeson did this one instead of Neil Peart, but...

Although "A Christmas Song" is my favorite from Tull, this one may be more proggy, complete with several signature changes:

...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Not all of these are Christmas, but they all have the same bombastic sound. |

The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

Strawbs have a whole bunch, none better than this
though this more recent one is pretty good too and then this one from 1980, though I prefer the version from 1991, which I can't find on youtube |
