I was kind of puzzled as to why On Demand has Sound of Music listed as a Christmas movie. But now I noticed that The Godfather is in the Christmas movie list, too.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
WTF?
I love The Godfather, but it is not a Christmas movie.
Neither is Sound of Music, but during the 80s and 90s, NBC would play it every Christmas without fail. So I tend to watch it on my own in December every year.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy birthday, Typo Boy!!

Don't they usually show it around easter every year? Not that it has the slightest thing to do with that either.
I might be confusing it with Wizard of Oz? But both have been shown right around one or the other holiday for as long as I can remember. So I can see why people think of the movies in conjunction with that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"Favourite Things" is also considered a Christmas song, so it might be getting carried along in the wake of that.

I think movies that aren't explicitly Christmas movies, but which have noteworthy Christmas-related scenes, tend to get thought of as "Christmas movies."
For example, just last night I had my annual viewing of "Desk Set," which is not a Christmas movie per se, in that the movie's plot isn't about Christmas, but it has a fantastic office Christmas party scene. And that scene is what always leads to me thinking of it as a Christmas-related movie.
Honestly, "It's a Wonderful Life" isn't a Christmas movie, either. Christmas-related section of plot, but the overall movie plot is so much more and really has nothing to do with Christmas as such.

Favorite Things isn't a Christmas song though.

I feel like it does, but I haven't watched it in at least 10 years. Is the "So Long, Farewell" party a Christmas party? Or just a random swanky party?
