Everyday performer, having a lot of fresh sprouts (sign of Christmas)? (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

buddy holly

'everyday performer' is the definition.
(singer of the song Everyday)

'having a lot of fresh sprouts sign of christmas?' is the wordplay.
'having a lot of fresh sprouts' becomes 'buddy' (having lots of buds).
'sign of christmas?' becomes 'holly' (plant traditionally associated with Christmas).
'buddy'+'holly'='BUDDY HOLLY'

(Another definition for buddy holly that I've seen is " singer".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
