The songs from Home Alone.

Christmas at Hogwarts.

And JW has arranged many songs from the 50-ies including Christmas songs.

As an important arranger then, I think JW is for a big part responsible for what we now think of as the 'Christmas sound'.

Scrooge is not Williams, but it is orchestrated by Herbert Spencer, and has a bit of a Williams-y sound.

Also, check out I'll begin again, especially from 1:16 on... sounds very Williams-y.

Williams did arrange a whole album of Christmas carols for Mahalia Jackson, which he also conducted, back in the 1960's.

And then there are the two Boston Pops Holiday recordings conducted by Williams, the second of them including bits from Home Alone.
