What makes a Christmas classic? Does it have to cover all the bases such as Santa Claus, waking up on Christmas morning, a soundtrack full of holiday spirit, etc.? Or does it just have to take place around the holiday season and sprinkle some of the things we associate with December 25th? This week we try to determine that answer while looking at the films we associate with the holiday, along with the films considered classics that just don’t do it for us.
Other topics this week include all the major updates from Disney’s Investor Day, which included new Star Wars, MCU, Pixar, and Disney+ projects, and the most memorable films of 1998!
