A Compilation by Passed Recordings & Ambient Soundscapes
Out December 19, 2025
Christmas and ambient rise from the grave to haunt your headphones once more in The Ghost of Christmas Passed!
Following on from 2022’s Christmas Passed, this Winter’s Christmas compilation brings you over 3 hours of fireside crackles, chiming bells, hearty hohoho’s, and nostalgic carols all with lashings of luscious pads, soothing reverberence, and ethereal delays. Absolutely ideal for someone looking for some festive tunes with a complete tonal twist. Whether Yuletide merriment is something you love or loathe, whether you love a Christmas jingle or desperately need a break from Mariah, The Ghost of Christmas Passed has something for ambient fans everywhere.
Proceeds from sales to support upkeep of the label and Doctors Without Borders (www.msf.org).
