There's also a version from Savoy, on their subsidiary Regent.

Sounds like the same version as Debbie Dabney. The labels probably just
made those names up.

The "Debbie Dabney" thing originates from the inclusion of the lead
track on the various artists "Christmas Blues" album on Savoy in 1994
where for some unknown reason the included "I Want To Spend Christmas
With Elvis" song is credited to "Debbie Dabney"
My copy comes from this LP:

Another version, found in my music library:
Little "Lambsie" Penn - I Wanna Spend X-Mas With Elvis [Atco 6082] -
Nov 1956
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4P0yv5S3ro
Florence Lambsie Penn, aged 11, was her real name.

"Penn hiccups with abandon in true rockabilly style" and she was
redeemed in Billboard with a very favorable review.
The record label credits the song's creation to Bobby Darin and Don Kirschner.

Okay,here's what I have Steve
The original version of this Bobby Darin song seems to be that of one >>Little Lambsie Penn (yes really) who recorded the number November 12
1956.
Sadly I don't have her version (tho I have owned it on ocassion) but
be advised that no less a person than Steve Propes named it as his
pick for the worst record on Atco (it was issued Christmas 1956 as
Atco 6082)
The song was immidiately seized on by Grandpappy Herman Lubinsky who
had this girl Marlene Paula (note the "a" on the end of her name)
record her version on November 18 1956. This is presumably the version
you have and was issued on Savoy's Regent subsidary (as Regent 7506)
I'm not sure where or why this "Debbie Dabney" comes into the picture
but I note it's her version that appears on the reissue Savoy
compilation "Savoy Christmas Blues" album-----where the exact same
Marlene Paula track is represented but is now credited to "Debbie
Dabney".
I've no idea why this should be so. Maybe Debbie Dabney was Paula's
real name? Anyway both her version and the Marlene Paula are EXACTLY
THE SAME RECORDING!!
Perhaps Norm might be able to add more (I'm betting he has the Lambsie
Penn record :) .
Also Steve Propes if he's reading this can probably add more and
straighten the thing out further too.
