There’s a channel called That’s Christmas that is rotating a lot of these more random Christmas songs - Jane McDonald, Dolly Parton, Annie Lennox etc and is probably largely responsible for their presence here! Pipes of Peace and Freiheit are on there a lot too.

 

TV plays are so low since all those music channels closed recently so it allows for channels that do still play music to dominate.
