Other ideas:
Something with Mayael in it. Mayael's Holiday Party - Enchantment.
Boros-style Santa.
Rakdos the Red-Nosed Guildmaster.

Present artifact that grants certain gifts based on dice-rolls or which comes into play with countdown til Christmas counters.
I'm guessing the next three will be multicolored as well, considering they've done red/green and white/black.
With this in mind, next year and the year after will be more easy to predict, as I can't think of any two colors they could choose that would not automatically narrow down the options of the other two to a 50/50 and 100% chance, respectively. Of course, this assumes they do dual color.
As for card types, it could be a colored artifact, or a land that taps for different colors, or a multicolor planeswalker. They do, however, have quite a few other frames to play with should they choose to, like flip/tranform cards and miracles. (If they make a Flip-transform-flip card, I will die. I don't know how it would work, but I want it.)

There are ten two-color combinations, which means that this year's guess would be 1/8, next year's 1/7, and so on...

If Magical Christmas Land is in your opening hand, you may reveal it. If you do, shuffle your hand into your deck then take seven cards from your deck and place them in your hand. Shuffle your deck.

Or for a less broken version:
A deck can have only one card named Magical Christmas Land.
Any time you could mulligan and Magical Christmas Land is in your hand, you may exile all the cards from your hand and library, choose 10 cards not named Magical Christmas Land from among them and shuffle them into your library, then draw six cards

While cute it doesn't really conform itself with the concept of being a holiday card
We like to use the expression but there's no actual link to the holidays

I don't think power is a concern for these special cards.
I think they go out of their way to avoid referencing specific holidays by name.
Yeah, I know, but still, the idea of them making a card like that is just hilarious. If not now, I would love this to be an Unset card in future, if they ever make those again.

For people unfamiliar with these cards, they are given out by Wizards at their holiday party to employees and business partners.

I could see it being a Land with a Christmas tree that taps for red, green or white though that's not really funny.

I'm assuming they split the colors evenly, so do a 'cycle' like they did with the guilds, and then the other five combinations.
Make it happen.
As for what this year will bring, I hope it's a Planeswalker. St. Nicol Bolas?
