Some of your plants do actively grow during cold season like the sedum rubrotinctum and I think I see some noid echeverias there. But not sub freezing cold. Above 32F is still doable and preferably kept drier. But as mentioned, give them as much sun as you can, that is why they are elongating or etiolating, trying to get more light. They get the lipstick like red color at the edges of the leaves or sometimes the entire leaf when they get chilled. But it does not hurt the plant.

Also I prefer not to plant succulents in glass containers or any container with no drainage holes, it is so easy to get them overwatered. Their roots are so shallow and thin. But if you really have the patience and discipline not to water often, it may work.
