Missed the first couple of songs/clips, but comparing this with the Festivus set of a couple years ago, there seems to be a fair bit of overlap, at least in the songs. However, with Christmas sets, it's tough to complain too loudly about what evolved to be Christmas evergreens.

There is an Imperial buttload of novelty Christmas songs.  Dr. Demento used to devote two shows
to them every December.  My own collection of favorites runs for about two hours.  So while there
are certainly many evergreens, there is no need for any overlap.
