I'm currently listening to a recording of a Finnish Christmas tradition called Tiernapojat. It seems to be closely equivalent to the Mummers or Wren Boys round these parts. You can read about it here.
This version, however, is by a metal band, Timo Rautinen & Trio Niskalaukaus. It's bloody brilliant.
