I had more limited success :(

Tried to use it to extend my Funky Christmas playlist (exemplars: James Brown’s “Soulful Christmas”, The Band’s “Christmas Must Be Tonight”, any “Lean On Me” but mine is by Music Travel Love, Train’s “Christmas Island”, Pomplamoose’s take on “Here we come a-caroling”, Twin Bandit’s “Rise Up Shepherd”)... So like I am not expecting it to get the full genre correct, because the genre is Christmas songs that can simultaneously sit in the background AND surprise you, it's Pat Monahan and he's singing a Christmas song and it's about how he's gonna do Christmas in a resort in Hawaii this year because eff the snow.

Problem is that 90% of these results are not even debatably Christmas songs?

I removed all Christmas songs after Christmas! That's probably the issue. The majority of problems people are seeing can be fixed by expanding the dataset.
