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.

Spirit in the Sky!

Six issue mini-series based on the hot new TV show. — "Spirit in the Sky!" was the second comic issue of the TNG debut miniseries from DC Comics, released for March 1988. TNG Magazine It's Christmas aboard the Enterprise, but in the midst of the celebrations a strange force invades the ship...

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.

Bread and Circuses could be on that list.

Voyager's a Christmas tree ornament in "Death Wish".

If we're talking about Star Trek Christmas stories, the discussion is incomplete without "Spirit in the Sky!" from DC Comics' first TNG miniseries: Christmas on the Enterprise-D (along with lots of alien holiday celebrations that JUST HAPPEN to occur at the same time of year), Santa Claus as an incorporeal alien being, and a villainous alien race who look just like the Grinch.

@Turtletrekker beat you to it.

Paramount Plus calling some of the Trek episodes they chose "Christmas episodes" is reaching.

 

[Hawku]

VOY "Timeless" should be a Christmas episode, because Voyager takes a ski holiday in the Alps.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

It's not an analogue to Christmas, but the Gratitude Festival from Fascination seems to combine elements from all the holidays of the "festive season." Indeed, it aired right at the end of November, the last episode of the calendar year.

Just in time for US Thanksgiving.

Hear Me Out: I Think Hallmark Should Make A Holiday Movie For Star Trek Fans

I'm not joking, this needs to happen.

Would you watch this?

I love Christmas. I love Star Trek. I have Star Trek Christmas ornaments. But I've no need for an in-universe Christmas centered episode. That TNG Xmas comic is a low point in Trek comics. (And I've read Gold Key) Total cringe.

The article author also suggested an out-of-universe Hallmark romance film about Trekkies.

Jill runs a small Star Trek con at Christmas every year, but this year the Big Mega Con has decided to also have a convention in December. Jack, who is president the Mega Con runs into Jill in a meet cute moment. They fall in love. But can love over come their rivalry? Special appearances by mid tier Trek actors.

I'd watch it for the Jeffrey Coombs cameo.

The real conflict between them should be that one prefers Kirk and the other prefers Picard.

Jill is a hardcore Trekkie. Jack lost his Trekmas spirit years ago. He's also the host of a clickbait hatewatch podcast.

Hallmark could even make a special ornament just for the movie. Of course, one of the couple's surprise dates is the TOS set tour.

The prologue chapter of of ADF's Star Trek Log Two (leading into the adaptation of "The Survivor") is set in a Christmas party, with Scotty (drunk at the time) attempting to interest Spock in his design for a four-dimensional Christmas tree.

When the subject of eggnog comes up, Spock notes that he may be allergic to nutmeg.
