Great list! A bit late now (only just joined Substack) but Laura Barton’s Notes on Music episode called Bells is perfect winter listening. Also I listened to The Dark is Rising this year and I imagine you’d like it, or maybe you’ve already read it? Same vibe as The Owl Service, creepy, a chapter each day from 20th Dec. Both are on BBC Sounds.

That Voice Squad clip! Incredible how they stay absolutely locked when the tempo is so elastic.
Incredible stuff - cheers for sharing.
Father Christmas is way better than The Snowman. Fact.
