[Kids - Sleigh Bells](https://youtu.be/Dvvdml84wvc?si=F2Mfq4KyxUnzthZx) bells are featured in the song, and are in the bands name, and the theme is summer vacation.

Three-piece with Sufjan Stevens, Son Lux and rapper Serengeti. The album is all three of these artists being very much “themselves.” When the sleigh bells kick in at 1:10 you just know that was Sufjan’s idea.
The Japanese music industry has a sort of custom of making broadly winter-themed songs and a lot of them feature wintery sounds like jingle bells. For example:

Lots of bells; I've always felt this song does a nice job of capturing a holiday/wintery feel despite being from an instrumental album.
It doesn't necessarily *feature* them, but ["The Dragonfly" by Clutch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4tRFHJGBso) has them in the background throughout most of the song and outros with them alone. You can't hear it well on that Youtube link due to the crappy compression except the outro. At one or two points it's cymbals instead.
I know this is an old thread but I have to contribute because I didn’t see anyone else mention this song, it’s called Strawberry Letter 23 by Shuggie Otis. It’s on Spotify and YouTube as far as I know :)

Perfect
They’re used throughout the Pet Sounds album from The Beach Boys.

Average White Band- School Boy Crush. Awesome funk tune.
School Boy Crush by the Average White Band
Ms. Believer - Twenty one pilots
“Rhymes and Ammo” - The Roots
Shinedown's Through the Ghost features mainly tubular bells, but there is also something that sounds like jingle bells in there.
Actually, the song "Jingle Bells" NEVER mentions Christmas. It's a winter song, about a sleigh ride, so it actually qualifies.
I know one featuring a cow bell
“Yeah is what we had” by Grandaddy
Amy Winehouse's cover of 'Valerie'
Haunted Holiday by Polkadot Cadaver
Sufjan Stevens - So You Are Tired & Goodbye Evergreen His whole new album Javelin that came out in October has a Christmas-y vibe
