Jingle Bells
Jolly Old St. Nicholas

For clarity, does this mean creating a different musical approach to the song (only) without changing or adding to the lyrics in any way?

You can create your song in any musical style, but the lyrics and basic vocal melody should remain intact. Key changes are fine.

Modern Swing or Big Band anyone?
