Crossword Genius

Girl in song at Christmas? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carol

This clue is a double definition.

'girl' is the first definition.

'song at christmas?' is the second definition.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for carol that I've seen before include "Female" , "sing happily" , "A traditional Christmas song or hymn" , "Song, especially at Christmas" , "Joyful religious song" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
