You could also try searching for Chrismas Bells soundfont or SF2 or SFZ.

There are some Vibes in Real tracks (search: vibes in picker) if you are talking about this route. Also I am sure some MIDI can be cooked to work with synth that is included with BIAB.

Yes, you could 'roll-your-own' with MIDI. There are tubular bells, tinkle bells, etc available.

Went to the multi-picker and searched for "bell" and found a few "bell-like" options. The best to my ears was a hip hop loop that rang the root note of the chord on beat one of each bar. I would absolutely agree that external samples are the best option, but there are a (very) few in BiaB...

What, when did that happen? cry Spitfire Labs has been free FOREVER. But now I see they have some crazy subscription model! Combine that with the fact that I just went shopping for breckfast and it cost me almost $20.
