"Favourite Things" is also considered a Christmas song, so it might be getting carried along in the wake of that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.
This sounds like a twitter trending topic:

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?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

This is why I'm giving a pass to Meet Me in St. Louis as a Christmas movie, but Sound of Music doesn't have a Christmas scene at all. And I have no explanation for The Godfather.

It's just a random party. No Christmas in that movie.

Maybe the horse's head is really a Christmas Present?

I seriously might be conflating "snow on Alps" with "hey, snow = Christmas!"
