TenchuX seeking Xmas remix help!!

"I remaster a video game song every week (which coincidentally is uploaded every Wednesday).
This December I am doing ONLY Winter/Christmassy songs, and since there are 5 Wednesdays I will be doing 5 songs.
I'm up to 24 songs now, and every 10th songs is a remix or megamix which means the 30th song will actually be on the final Wednesday of December.
I've already completed the song that will be playing the first week of December (Snow theme from Mario Kart 64) - used in Sherbert Land and Frappe Snowland.
My intention for the remix is going to be a complete redo of a collab I did back in 2005 of Ice Cap Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
This leaves THREE songs of which I have no idea what I'm choosing yet.
Here's a list of what I've thought of so far.
I thought about the two wintery songs from Donkey Kong Country but they really don't fit the song type I'm going for. Northern Hemispheres is way too ambient and Ice Cave Chant doesn't feel right to me.
Anyway... if you can add any more songs that fit the mold of what I'm looking for to this list that would be nice. If you happen feel strongly about a certain song I already listed feel free to let that be known as well.

You may be wondering why the jacked up schedule this week, that is simply due to the World Series. We are big Philadelphia sports fans, and this is a very unique time for us right now with the Philadelphia Phillies going for a repeat title of World FN Champs.
Next week our schedule will be back to normal!

Will's Game of the Week: Shatterhand
This is a classic side-scrolling beat em up that has escaped us somehow over the years. At VGXPO we finally got our hands on a copy from one of the dealers, in a true deal: $2. Why 2 bucks? Because the cover of the game has been peeled off leaving the white backing, but the game itself is in excellent working condition! A winner is you!
The game turns on and then it begins, you are a man in walking from left to right punching the bejesus out of everything that moves. I absolutely love this game already...
Area A starts out and all I can think of is the Armadillo Tank song from their cd we bought after we saw them live down in Philadelphia for the VGXPO.
To my surprise there are unlimited continues and so far my favorite stage is Area C. Area D is the hardest so far with the stupid helicopter bombs, and the rising platform from hell which is my current downfall.
