Some good ones in the genre! Gary Hoey, TSO as mentioned. I have really enjoyed the Merry Axemas albums (there are 2) with lots of guitar greats. August Burns Red is more metal, but has a couple of really good Christmas albums.
I really like things that are different than the typical classic sung songs (I don't need Bing, Nat or Mariah on a rotation). I love me some Vince Guaraldi (not just his Christmas album which we all know from The Peanuts). I've been listening a lot lately to Reel Big Fish's "Happy Skalidays" album (ska) and love the 12 Days of Christmas that Relient K does. Weezer's Christmas album is a good one to mix things up, too. So many options!
