    Okay but why aren’t some of these Christmas season movies? I think narnia really isn’t that big of a stretch

      Snow ≠ Christmas

      It was only wintery because of the witch. If anything, it’s Easter themed, since it’s literally a crucifixion allegory.

      Edit: I’m a big dumb wrong person.

      The Narnia stories were written very deliberately by Lewis as a Christian metaphor. Aslan is Jesus. The whole schmegegge is basically Easter (“Very Serious Christians” will tell you that Easter is a far more important holiday than Christmas, even though pretty much everyone likes the usurped Winter’s Feast more than the usurped fecundity festival).

      Plus, as people said, Christmas is built in - albeit with the differential emphasis I mentioned.
