But it would seem that we can infer just what sorts of songs are going to be on this album from those concerts....maybe

Here are the Christmas songs they have performed lately as well as my analysis of whether I think they are likely to be on an album.
Do You Hear What I Hear and In the Bleak Midwinter
Last released before they were even called "Libera" on the Angel Voices 3 album, I believe these will be on the new CD for sure.
Gaudete
This song has been a fairly ubiquitous offering in the Libera lineup. It's been on no less than 3 Libera albums and two albums under Angel Voices. Since the last time this was on an album was the Ireland recording, I would imagine that the likelihood of this song being on the new Christmas recording is high.
Wexford Carol
While for me this song is a personal top favorite I feel that it is less guaranteed to be recorded. Despite the fact that they found a new soloist for it who is apparently doing an excellent job, this piece has been recorded multiple times: 2013 (Ireland), 2015 (Holiday EP), and 2016 (Libera at Christmas). For that reason I don't believe that this song is guaranteed to be on the new CD. I would put this one at 50/50.
Carol of the Bells
This has been on many recordings and their music video of this song on YouTube is approaching 8 million views

"I Saw Three Ships"
This is a brand new song that seems to have one over a lot of fans, so it's guaranteed to be on the CD in my opinion.
In Dulci Jubilo
First recorded on the Angel Voices 3 album, it has only appeared two times since then on the 2013 Ireland CD and on the 2012 Christmas album. Based on this I am sure this song will make a comeback for the new recording.
But is that all? 7 total songs? Another short album? Not quite an EP but not quite a full length CD either? What else could be on this? Wild guesses would include something they have not recording since AV3 like "Saviour's Day" as it was track 1 on that CD after all (not a personal favorite of mine but it's catchy). I have doubts that "Santa Will Find You" will make a comeback and I am sure some here without mentioning names are quite glad of it
