In regards to your other ideas, it may be best to leave their discussion on hold, at least until we know what season 9 entails and how your series can fit into that. Silent Night is just a brilliant title though! It would be great for it to be used and I fully support the Christmas special with it focusing on the characters with plots only coming in the background like several Christmas Specials have done.

In regards to spin offs, they play out a lot like DW with them having one main character to act as the lead (Jack Harkness, Sarah Jane Smith) with at least one or more companion (Gwen Cooper, Luke Smith) with usually other characters which form a part of a team. They also play out similarly in arcs with a list of stories that link to the overall arc so as you can tell it plays out quite similar to the actual show but with more main characters and a lower budget and different themes and tones depending on their audiences.
