What I am finding as I do research on this is that carols began with dances that were accompanied by choral singing. The carols were not originally all for Christmas, but were used for many different purposes throughout the year.
The description of mummings, however, makes me wonder whether caroling was not derived, at least in part, from these. Mummings were plays done in the Early Middle Ages. They had pagan roots, and often mixed old pagan stories with Christian references. They are said to have been politically quite incorrect, and I would guess they could have been very comical. But the characteristic that made them like caroling was that they were performed by groups of people who went from house to house, and one of the times when this was especially done was Yuletide.
