Yes, only "classic" old songs like "Vive le vent" ("Jingle bell" I think), "Douce nuit", "Mon beau sapin" ("O Tannenbaum") and others. The one I was thinking of above was "Petit papa Noël" ("Petit"="Little", "papa or père Noël"="Santa Clause") by Tino Rossi, a ...Corsican singer
and it was released in the 50s or 60s. Since that one, nothing by any "current modern" singer. The main reason would be that it would sound
very childish for an adult singer. That's why I mentioned that only a very young child or band of young children
could do that, but it doesn't even happen...
EDIT: oops, I read rwd716's post before yours, Twitch! At least, I'm confirming what you said about the old songs that are only used in France
