Why is Adeste Fidelis (Oh Come All Ye Faithful) the only traditional Christmas hymn to be heard sung in Latin?

While listening to Andrea Bocelli’s wonderful rendition sung earlier on the Christmas special with David Foster on PBS, it occured to me that there really aren’t any others which I can recall typically sung in Latin.
So, I just wondered if there were a particular reason to that.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not objecting or anything. It’s beautiful and brings back great memories of HS choir and my learning the words without knowing any Latin at all.
Just idly wondering.
