Dagger of the Mind - mentions an unseen Christmas party, the on-the-nose named "Helen Noel"
Devil's Due - a scene from A Christmas Carol
Tapestry - Picard gets the It's a Wonderful Life treatment.

Too bad there isn't one good Trek TV episode where Christmas is more than an event that happened offscreen, a literary allusion, a flashback, or a holodeck program, and some of the main crew characters celebrate it in some fashion.
 

And Generations had a Christmas tree scene.
 
It was always a small element in the TV shows, never a major point - Christmas had just passed, or was part of a fantasy.

Imagine, for instance, a hypothetical episode where on Christmas Day/Eve an away team from any of the Enterprises is stuck with settlers on a colony world undergoing some crisis, and they make the best of where they're holed up. Or a DS9 episode where Human crew are celebrating Christmas and Quark learns not to be a greedy Grinch.
