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

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

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
And I have no explanation for The Godfather.
Maybe the horse's head is really a Christmas Present?

I seriously might be conflating "snow on Alps" with "hey, snow = Christmas!"
Hello, Ohioan. Durrr on me.

Because books.
I think it might be that "family time, time off" thing where it's assumed people have the time to sit down and marathon some movies.
"Favorite Things" isn't a Christmas song, but it does mention a whole bunch of winter things -- bright copper kettles, warm woolen mitten, etc.
And the "Farewell" scene is just a swanky party.

When I used to make a display of Christmas movie rentals at the grocery store, I always included Edward Scissorhands, because it seems like a Christmas movie to me.

That's on the On Demand list, too.

I always watch Meet Me in St. Louis at Christmas, too. It's so nostalgic and lovely, and there is the great Christmas scene.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Favorite Things isn't a Christmas song though.
Doesn't stop people from considering it one, though. Last time I saw it mentioned as one was on the gawker network's worst Christmas song elimination. But it's totally not the first time, and I doubt it will be the last.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah, you know I think you have a point:
They are conflating Winter movies with Christmas movies. That said, "Sound of Music" also does not have a lot of winter on display. Most of the action takes place in the spring or summer based on the clothing and blue skies.

Baking people: if a recipe calls for fresh or frozen cranberries, do you think substituting dried is okay?
