I wouldn't really consider it a Christmas movie but it does take place around Christmas. Just like the gremlins and die hard which are both argued to be christmas movies

So there’s no confirmation that it takes place near a holiday but there is snow on the ground lol but really no part of the central plot involves Christmas. So no it’s not a Christmas movie. 7 or so years ago someone came up with a fan theory that dhals intention with wonka as a whole was to make a weird version of Santa (oompas being the elves, and the naughty, nice, omnipresence aspect) but dhals said his inspo was a chocolate factory near his school that he wasn’t ever allowed inside of so his imagination dreamed up wonkas factory.

I love it 💕💕

You know, I really thought there was more christmas in it. Is it really just snow that makes it seem like it has a Christmas theme when it actually isn't? I think it being Charlie's birthday throws it off, too, as you might remember it being a Christmas present because of the snow

It has snow, but I wouldn’t consider it a Christmas movie 😳

Haha never even realized it took place near Christmas but I did notice Harry Potter listed too 😅

No but we all watch it during Christmas mainly, am I right? Lmao
