There wasn't much in the way of Christmas music in the charts in 1997 with just the one Christmas song.
Christmas number one came from the Spice Girls with "Too Much". This was their second of three Christmas number ones in a row and to date none of their singles had failed to reach number one so when they released this Christmas week there was only going to be one outcome.
Fountains of Wayne are seen by many as a one hit wonder with "Stacey's Mom" in 2004. However, they had the only Christmas hit of 1997 with "I Want An Alien For Christmas" which was their second Top 40 hit. It was released Christmas week and only managed to reach number 36 before dropping out the Top 40 the following week. Not a very well known Christmas song, I only know it myself from discovering it existed and playing it on YouTube.
