The Catholic does not use the word service in their liturgy. The Mass however, is the Holy Eucharistic celebration of Calvary Sacrifice in an unbloody manner under the appearance of bread and wine, offered to God through the ministry of the preist. Only this is called mass as there are other devotional rites, adoration etc.
Holy communions are given in all Catholic mass. However, in remote places where the priest is not available, the faithfuls do hold their normal Sunday worship as the mass except, no Holy communions.
The name mass is from the Latin word Missa, meaning dismissal. When the Sacrifice is completed, the faithfuls are dismissed; Ite Missa Est

Christmas Carol does not really have an obligation on the church or anyone. It's a musical and hymnal celebrations to spice up the season of Christmas.
Christmas Carols is just telling the Christmas stories in songs and musical shows. You know like it was said in one of Shakespeare's writings (Twelfth Night) that music is the food of love (soul), play on. Give me excess.......
Christmas is a commemoration of God's Love to mankind Jn 3:16
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year
Christmas is the happiest season in the world.
Enjoy your Christmas Carols
