are Tfw allowed to run trains on Boxing Day and maybe Christmas day maybe in the high density population areas of South and West Wales area?

There is no legal reason I'm aware of that they could not. They would need track access (some Network Rail and some their own these days??). They would need staff willing to work the day.  They would need a business case and someone to provide supporting funding for the lack of revenue over expenditure.
