Unless the rules have changed, it's based on whether or not the record label has officially sent the song for adds again. If a Christmas song is getting an official push from the label for a 2nd (or 3rd, etc.) year, it will remain current. Otherwise, it is no longer considered a current song.

And yet, AIWFCIY ExtraFestive shows on the main chart. Maybe because that track didn't reach a particular peak on the AC chart last year? Last year, "Last Christmas" recharted (though I'm not sure where it peaked the year prior).
So labels have sent the same holiday track for adds in years following its initial charting? Odd, that it would go through that "trouble," as AC stations favor older tracks anyhow and probably would play it a decent amount.
