Hmm. It looks like the OP took his recipe for potatoes au gratin and left the building.

I once made a mix tape that included a lot of prog and related artists:
A Winters Tale - Jade Warrior A Christmas Song, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow, Jack-In-The-Green, Ring Out Solstice Bells, Fires at Midnight, Another Christmas Song, Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day - Jethro Tull One Misty Moisty Morning - Steeleye Span A Song for All Seasons - Renaissance Song of White - Vangelis Yes, a lot of Tull. All of these were from the original recordings; I made this tape years before the Tull Christmas Album came out. Bruce Cockburn, John Lennon, and the Pretenders round out the tape. We could argue that most of these are less Christmas than they are Winter, but that line has been blurred long ago. As long as it matches the season, it is acceptable to me, especially since I am tired of hearing the same 15 songs over and over again.

The December people albums are good but they are pure prog christmas albums. I'm not sure that's what the OP is looking for.

I Am The Manic Whale have done a good version of this on their recent Christmas selection box release. I also have to mention the Kate Bush album 50 Words for Snow, which is a bit proggy.

I'm sure is NOT what you're looking for but I cannot do without mentioning this beauty: The Endless Engima, Pt. 2 by ELP. Beacuse of its beautiful (prog & Christmas) bells at the start and its sheer overall progressiveness. It always makes me think of Christmas. Each time I hear it I imagine something like this (not exactly, but an elegant image of red bells with a green tree on the background): And a bit of humour as a bonus track : P Merry Christmas btw
