Another - unidentified - team of campanologists from Yorkshire were recruited for a service on Thursday, despite the landmark previously suggesting "intimidation" was thwarting its efforts to find stand-ins.
Quoted by the Guardian, the cathedral said a group "kindly offered to support the minister's and the city's festive celebrations by ringing the bells to welcome people to one of the cathedral's best-loved and most popular services of the Advent and Christmas season".
York Minster's governing body last week gave a detailed statement explaining why it dismissed the 30-strong team of ringers in October.

The Chapter said it disbanded the team after they refused to accept a decision not to reinstate one of its members, understood to be David Potter MBE.
Potter had been suspended following a police investigation into allegations of sex offending against children, however, he was never charged.
York Chapter also claimed people who offered to help support bell-ringing at the 15th century cathedral were subject to "intimidation on social media and in the local press", with one even "threatened with legal action".
It emerged last Thursday, bell ringers at Leeds Minster turned down the opportunity to take part in York Minster's Christmas service in an "act of solidarity" with the group who had been dismissed from York Minster.
This year would have seen the bells at York Minster staying silent for the first Christmas in 650 years.
