My absolute favorite in this genre is 8​-​Bit Jesus by Doctor Octoroc, which smashes up Christmas carols with classic NES game music. Every track is a combination of one of each and it works.

I'll always love the classic 8bitpeoples Christmas compilation: The 8bits of Christmas [archive.org link]

If you like synth Christmas, there's always the classic Switched On Santa, and Ronnie Martin (of Joy Electric) has a new album of Christmas music this year.

I've enjoyed Rush Coil's 8-bit Christmas album for many years, especially his renditions of O Christmas Tree, Joy to the World and Carol of the Bells.
