I watch Lord Of The Rings at Christmas.

  • it has elves

  • the fellowship set out from Rivendell on the 25th of December

  • Gandalf has a santa-like beard

I rest my case

Don't forget they all came out in December! That's the only thing that matters.

All of them were originally released around the holidays back in the early 00s as well, so there's baked in Christmas association with those movies.

In a parallel universe multiplex somewhere, Christopher Lee smashed it as Krampus.

I'm pretty sure that Krampus is actually based on his activities during the second world war.
