With how year end countdowns are done what happens with Christmas songs like Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You that make it to No. 1 every year now? Or it just not counted?

Traditionally, Christmas songs don't make the year-end countdown. Two reasons---one, most of them didn't chart long enough to offset big records from the rest of the year. Two, there's not much appetite to hear them again seven days after you've just stopped playing them.

White Christmas by Bing Crosby did make the survey, way back when.

The two referenced episodes in the post would have been the two year end episodes that ran on SiriusXM. Substations combined them from them for an entire weekend

I heard there was some station doing the whole weekend, but I searched high and low and couldn't find it.

I only listen to Casey's countdowns from the early 70s, 24/7 from i-heart and various stations on the weekend (WUPE 6:AM and WDNY 9:AM Saturdays) and other times on some other stations.
