The yearly 'Just Like Christmas' covers blogpost

We've been keeping track of versions of Just Like Christmas (by Low, of course) for several years (exhibit A, exhibit B, exhibit C). So, it's become a tradition and yes, here's a new batch. Did I miss a recently released version? Please put it in the comments:

From the recent (and as always very good) Polaroid compilation, this loud'n fuzzy version by PoPo:
Turbosuflante! Solo, with guitar, fx, and close-miked:
Upbeat, almost sunny, with a jubilant saxophone by Al Church:
From late 2023, dreamy, tender and ethereal by Misha Chylkova: Grungey version, from an album with mostly Sparklehorse-covers, a Coldplay version and this instrumental by We're Only Human Once:
The same version, but now with reverb-y vocals by Adalyn Clarke:
Sidenote: Adalyn/We Are Only Human Once wrote this kinda gorgeous super sad Christmas song in 2021 (trigger warning: tis about self harm):
Slow, ghostly electronics & acoustic guitar version, lovely choir singing too by Black Bra:
