As the festive season draws near, throw an ugly sweater on your’elf and give thanks for holiday movies. Joy, horror, nostalgia, comedy: all gremlins and grinches are welcome here. Let this not be a Christmas-centric Showdown though, but a celebration of films set during major holidays across cultures and calendars (though, let’s be honest, with a bias on November–January). Don’t be a scrooge: we want films with significant holiday action, rather than just one scene (Carol is in, CMbYN not so much). And remember: mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it.
