Does Mrs Fogarty's Christmas Cake qualify? It's about a cake, but I associate it with a Christmas party. That Mudcat discussion also encompasses lyrics of Trinity Cake and Grandma's Killer Cake. It seems all the songs may be of North American origin, though Mrs Fogarty's Christmas Cake and the Trinity Cake have an Irish flavour. I'm aware of the pun, but didn't intend it!. Grandma's Killer Cake is unmistakenly American.

If we can go beyond Ireland, another suggestion for this compilation would be the Kirk Soiree, which is Scottish and is sometimes spelled "The Kirk Swaree".
