If you're interested in instituting a Christmas Eve Lessons & Carols service as a tradition at your congregation, it can help to have a regular rotation of readings and carols selected. Perhaps all church leaders know that there is no practical way to pack "enough" carols in on Christmas Eve, but these services provide 7 readings and 8 carols each year, with some overlap (Luke chapter 2, Joy to the World, and Silent Night appear every year) and plenty of variety. Feel free to adapt as necessary to your context.
The document can be found here. Each reading is paired with a carol. I suggest having 7 readers- each one introduces and reads the reading, and then introduces the carol before returning to their seat.
If you find this resource helpful and would like to say thank you, feel free to buy me a coffee! Thank you!
