What's the problem? Finding Xmas music or copying it to a floppy disk?
There are many MIDI file sites on the internet and there are (were?) USB floppy disk drives available to be purchased and connected to a modern computer.

You "download" from the internet and you "copy" to a floppy disk. You don't "upload" to a floppy disk.
So, what does "uploading music" mean in this context?

And finally ... who uses floppy disks anymore? I have a friend who has many floppy disk drives and floppy disks he buys surplus which he connects to his retro-computers - Apple It's, Atari's, Commodore 64s/ My question is, clearly the OP wants to save the Christmas music in MIDI files to the floppies, since there wouldn't be enough space on a 1.44MB floppy for even a single MP3 file. So where does one find Christmas music on MIDI?

G Man, I think we need some specificity from you in order to help. Are you trying to find Christmas music online, to play through your DP? And you need it on a floppy because you have a Disklavier or some kind of piano/digital piano that only takes 3.5" floppies as input?

...So where does one find Christmas music on MIDI? On the internet by searching for "Christmas music midi files".  And of course many older digital pianos/keyboards used floppies, so I'm not surprised by the use case. I was just confused what the actual problem was. No bluntness intended...
