re: if you were making A Christmas Mix Tape

Little Saint Nick is a must, as is Christmas in Dixie.

I think the rest are good choices, although I would go with Reba's version of Christmas Guest over Cash.

I would also suggest adding Casting Crowns version of I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day. I would also do Atlanta Symphony's version of the Halleluiah Chorus, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's version of Angels We Have Heard on High. Throw in Christmas Eve Sarajevo by Trans Siberian Orchestra and the instrumental version of Oh Christmas Tree from A Charlie Brown Christmas and you are all set.

I have about a 5 hour Christmas playlist on Spotify that mixes traditional, classical, country, bluegrass, jazz and modern. I love it.
