'guy necessarily cool at xmas?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'guy' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'guy' could be 'man' (guy can informally mean a man) and 'man' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'snow' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
