I'll be honest, there have been fewer posts in this thread than I expected. Maybe seasonal cheer is in short supply in these troubled times?
But not to despair! Thanks in no small part to Damon posting very many suggestions, we now have a reasonable list of recommended internet radio stations. We also have an early contender for the "UDC Christmas No. 1 radio station". Radio Paradise storms into a massive lead with 3 mentions. Much to my surprise, BBC 6 music is also a very strong contender having received fully 2 mentions, snapping at the heals of leader Radio Paradise.

Ancient FM
Audiophile Baroque
Global Chillout
World Fusion
KEXP (including the magnificent Tiny Desk concerts)

I pledged in the OP that I would listen to all of the recommendations here, and I will, there is already enough listed to keep me going for a while, and unless anything changes in the recommendations, I shall have Radio Paradise playing loudly and proudly tomorrow morning as I peel some spouts and work out how to cook a Turkey. It should at least make a change from listening to the dulcet tones of Noddy Holder and Shane MacGowan.
