Smart Playlist Question

Album view
Tag icon - select Christmas tag.
Focus, left menu, Played in last 6 mths, toggle + to -
Bookmark.
Shuffle Play.

I haven’t checked if you can do the same in Tracks, but if the Focus played menu is there then you could.

One issue is that Played in last 6 months will create a fixed date, so you may want to update it from time to time.
