Here's my own seasonal favorite, "The Christmas Doll" by Joan Cushing:

It's an especially good choice if you've got lots of girls. We staged this very successfully in Juneau, Alaska, with a young cast (kids age 8 up to high school age), a small pit (piano, cello, violin, flute, clarinet) and modest production elements.
Another fine choice off the beaten reindeer track, if you've got access to a good bluegrass band, is "Beautiful Star: An Appalachian Nativity":

Good luck, and happy holidays!
