Ultimately drawn to the traditional Christmas (4)

I believe the answer is:

noel

'christmas' is the definition.
('Noel' can be a synonym of 'christmas')

'ultimately drawn to the traditional' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
The last letters of 'drawn to the traditional' are 'NOEL'.

(Other definitions for noel that I've seen before include "Christmas time" , "Sir - - Coward" , "Christmas; man's name" , "Christmastime" , "A lone French Christmas" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
