What’s a song that says Christmas to you that isn’t a Christmas song?

Jangle Bells. It's just about snow and riding in a sleigh. I think?

I'm taking your question literally, that a song associated

Christmas would be a "Christmas song", even if not about the spiritual aspect. IE, the Vince Guaraldi music, which would by my choice, is "Christmas". That being the case, for a reason I can't put my finger on I put this song on my Christmas playlist, though it is not about Christmas:

The Ave Maria, particularly this version...

The song is an homage to Mary, Mother of Jesus, and not specifically about Christmas or the birth of Christ.
I probably associate it with Christmas because the Chris Cornell rendition is on a Christmas compilation. But more likely I associate it with Christmas because two of the Holy Days of Obligation in the Catholic Church (i.e. an obligation to attend Mass in addition to your weekly obligation) are the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary (this year was Dec 8) and the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God (Jan 1, 2022, ironic given this post that the Obligation is waived and will be celebrated concurrent with the Sunday Mass) both of which help to bookend the Christmas season.

Ave Maria Maiden mild
O listen to a maiden's prayer
For thou can't see amid the wild
Tis thou, tis thou can't save amid despair
We slumber safely 'til the morrow
Tho' we, by men, outcast, reviled
O maiden see a maiden's sorrow
O mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria
Ave Maria Undefiled
The flinty couch whereon we're sleeping
Shall seem with down of eider piled
If thou above, sweet, watch our keeping
The murky cavern's air's so heavy
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled
O maiden hear a maiden's pleading
O mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria
Ave Maria Stainless styled
O fiends of air and earth the essence
From this their wonted haunt exiled
Shall flee before thy holy presence
We bow beneath our care so laden
To thy dear guidance reconciled
Then hear, o maiden, simple maiden
And for a father hear a child
Ave Maria

I think this isn't about Christmas. Just a clever date rape attempt.
