I think it goes one of two ways for Yuletide popularity: fandoms that are small generally but big for Yuletide, like Rivers of London or Gideon the Ninth, or five-minute fandoms where most people can check out the canon, such as it is. In between those you bank on nostalgia (childhood classics like Little Women or Secret Garden) or just luck.

Yeah, basically everything else, you might get a very slight boost from extra eyes, but it's more that a fandom that would normally get 50-100ish hits slowly trickling in over months will instead get that in the first week.

I do notice that they seem to have the longest tails though. Those old fics in juggernaut fandoms I wrote are now buried and rarely found. But all those old Yuletide fics in genuinely tiny fandoms? I usually get a kudos for at least one of them every week. Hell, most of the e-mails from the old account I've abandoned are for Yuletide stuff, not the old SGA, HP, Due South, etc fic on it.
