I've got two anime recs and a video game!

FANDOM NAME: Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi | Sunday Without God

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: According to legend, God abandoned the world fifteen years prior, and thus people are no longer able to give birth and cannot find rest after death unless buried by a mythical "gravekeeper." The protagonist, twelve-year-old Ai, is one such gravekeeper for her tiny, isolated village. After tragedy strikes her village, she resolves to set out on a journey to save the world God has abandoned, and along the way she makes new friends and discovers how humanity has adapted to this slowly dying world.

WHERE CAN I FIND IT? Crunchyroll! It's twelve episodes with a bonus episode on the BD/DVD set. The series is very beautiful, and you can see that beauty for yourself in the opening!

FANDOM NAME: Toji no Miko | Katana Maidens

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Girls with swords! Young girls known as Toji wield special swords to hunt supernatural monsters called aradama. The first episode starts with a tournament, but it quickly becomes an action/thriller series as protagonist Kanami and her friends find themselves involved in a plot involving aradama-possessed humans and the truth of the great disaster from twenty years ago. The anime has a good variety of female characters and plenty of femslashy subtext too.

WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): Crunchyroll! You can also check out the opening and ending themes on YouTube:

FANDOM NAME: Yoru no Nai Kuni | Nights of Azure

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: A love story of two star-crossed women! Long ago, a demon known as the Nightlord threatened to purge the world into an eternal night, but the Nightlord was defeated by the First Saint, spilling blue blood over the world. Arnice was one such young woman touched by the blue blood, turning her into a half-demon, and now she uses her powers to battle demonic fiends. When her mission takes her to Ruswal Island, she is reunited with Lilysse, a beloved friend from her school days. Lilysse was chosen as the next Saint, expected to sacrifice herself to prevent the Eternal Night, and as Arnice seeks a way to save Lilysse from her fate, romance develops between the two women.

WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): Nights of Azure is an action RPG for the Playstation 4. As examples of the canon yuri between Arnice and Lilysse, these are two of my favorite scenes: a dance scene and a sweet confession.

Based off of your description of Katana Maidens, I think 'Claymore' by Norihiro Yagi (it's also an anime) would be right up your alley.

I've read and very much enjoyed Claymore, although it's darker and far bloodier than Katana Maidens. When it comes to Yuletide, you can never have too many girls with swords!
