Short answer - depends on how one defines a Christmas movie. So a better question would be "what makes a Christmas movie a Christmas movie?"

[@PorkChopsRiceandPeaches]

That's a good question! The presence of Christmas? Themes associated with the holiday? What makes a Christmas movie?

[@PorkChopsRiceandPeaches]

The rolling nature of our conversations caused us to veer away from this central question, but I hinted at it in my response. The holiday should be a central aspect of the story for it to be a Christmas movie. In this movie, it was not. This story cold have been told on any day of the week. - Dad

By that logic, A Christmas Carol isn't a Christmas story. The only significance Christmas has is setting. I could set in on Thanksgiving and the story would have the same effect. -Noah

At the risk of answering my own question, I'd say like most art, it's abstract. It's one of those "know it when you see it" kind of things. . Like...for me a Xmas movie doesn't necessarily have to be set during Xmas. But the movie does need to feature what most would agree the holiday is about. Not every movie set during Christmas is a Christmas movie - at least not IMO.

Dang, guys, discussion over in the first 5 minutes? Where was Richard's little notebook with bulletpoint criteria of what makes a Christmas movie besides 'takes place at Christmas'? A Christmas miracle? A bad guy's change of heart? A religious epiphany? The return of a loved one? The spirit of Christmas allowing soul-searching and character change? Snow? Miracle imagery? Santa? Christmas carols? Real points could have been made on both sides.

These are free-flowing conversations that frequently head off in unexpected directions. In this case, I was so appalled at the point Noah was making that my mind shut down. Add to that, Noah was going for a mic drop moment, and this video didn't go well. Sorry to disappoint you. - Dad
