I agree with A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
I'd also recommend:
-The Christmas Wish by Richard Siddoway
-The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans (he also has several other good ones)
-The Christmas Shoes by Donna VanLiere
-The Haunted Man and The Ghost's Bargain by Charles Dickens (it's actually a short story, which I have in a book called Five Christmas Novels by Charles Dickens)
-Joe Wheeler's anthologies called Christmas in My Heart (there are quite a number of these and they are excellent)
-Christmas Regency novels (there are an amazing amount of these by various authors and they range from funny to touching) Some can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_adv_b/?search-alias=stripbooks&unfiltered=1&field-keywords=regency+christmas&field-author=&field-title=&field-isbn=&field-publisher=&node=&url=&field-binding=&field-age=&field-language=&field-dateop=&field-dateyear=&sort=relevancerank&Adv-Srch-Books-Submit.x=11&Adv-Srch-Books-Submit.y=5

I am not sure about christmasy but the Twilight series by Stephanie meyer is pretty good.
Twilight:
About three things I was absolutely positive:
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him–and I didn’t know how dominant that part might be–that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
“I’D NEVER GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT TO HOW I WOULD DIE– I’d had reason enough in the last few months –but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. . . . Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of something else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.”
When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret.
What Bella doesn’t realize is the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. And, it might be too late to turn back. . . .
Deeply seductive and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight will have readers riveted right until the very last page is turned.
New Moon:
For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is more dangerous than Bella ever could have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of an evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may just be beginning....
Legions of readers entranced by the New York Times bestseller Twilight are hungry for more, and they won't be disappointed by this gripping sequel. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist. Passionate, riveting, and deeply moving, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.
Eclipse:
Readers captivated by Twilight and New Moon will eagerly devour Eclipse, the much anticipated third book in Stephenie Meyer's riveting vampire love saga. As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob --- knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?
I saw this book on Barnes & Nobles teen page and I think it looks good. This one IS christmasy. I have not read it though.
Secret Santa by Sabrina James
Noelle, a hopeless romantic, just knows that her gifts have to be from her senior crush! And geeky Froggy thinks the game is the perfect way to get super-popular Celia to fall for him...except she thinks his gifts are from Jake, the school's resident bad boy, and starts to crush on him! Romantic mishaps abound, but all is revealed the night of the Winter Dance, where there's more than one surprise waiting under the mistletoe!

"Hogfather" by Terry Pratchett.
If she has any sense of humour, she'll be having major fits of laughter. :)
Plus, the Oh God of Hangovers should be good sensmorale.
