Tommy Pederson's books (5 part) are anything but "blaah" but your first guy needs "C's" and "D's". I do not know if you want to invest that kind of effort in carols. Neihaus and Holcombe both have pretty good books out. Some of the Caroler's Favorites (Salvation Army) stuff works if your top parts read treble (or tenor) clef.
Hope these get you started.

Take a look at

if you are out for a few sprinkles of something different.
The lead part is taken fairly high; up to C an octave above the staff (bass clef). Then the settings are less dense, than much other low brass ensemble music. With a few penciled notes, you can create quite some sound painting, if you have EETT and a full trombone quartet available.
A strong bassbone will love to play the contrabass line, where you ask him to do so. Your F/Eb tubas also will enjoy playing high tenor parts.
