The only ones I can think of are traditional Christmas carols like "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen" or "Carol of the Bells". Are there any canonical Christmas pop songs (of the sort that get regular airplay this time of year) that are in a minor key? There must be some but i'm hard pressed to think of any...

Would you call "the blues" a minor key as such?

Much of it, yes, but how many blues-based xmas pop songs are there?
"Blue Christmas" is in a major key, and not blues.

Mud, "It'll Be Lonely This Christmas"?

Nope. It's built around the classic '50s progression which is major.

We Three Kings? That's a song, right?

It's not a "canonical Christmas pop song".

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power of Love is in F Minor and seems to be an accepted part of the Xmas canon in the UK nowadays

Would it be if not for its video, I wonder?

Also, not in a minor key but still pretty depressing / amazing:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE4shVkwqIk

For whatever reason "Things Fall Apart" started playing in my head out of nowhere
