12 Days of #108Mas: More Strange Xmas Movie Theories

December 19, 2022

Last year, I took a stroll around the internet to find some strange Xmas movie theories:

12 Days of #108Mas: Strange XMas Movie Theories

So this year, I thought to myself, there must be more out there. And there absolutely are. Here are some of my favorites. We are returning to Home Alone, but first I have some others:

Frosty The Snowman

The idea here is that Frosty the Snowman is actually a demon conjured by morally corrupt children. This hinges on the lyrics of the original song and what that must mean:

These children had coal to make his eyes, so this obviously means they were given coal for Christmas for being the horrible children they are
Frosty ignores authority figures, especially the police
The children conjured him as a group as part of some weird black magic spell with that hat
Frosty proclaims he will return again, which is just frightening if you believe he’s a demon

It’s a Wonderful Life

This one is weird but almost makes sense. After the dance when George and Mary are making wishes outside the Old Granville house, Mary does not say what hers was. The idea from a Reddit deep dive is that she wished for George to stay in Bedford Falls with her forever. Of course, the chain of events that would be needed to make that happen are horrible: his father dying, the stock market crashing, etc. As they say, be careful what you wish for!

The Santa Clause

This one is for MySoxSummer. This Twitter thread below outlines how the elves in the Santa Clause are cooking and eating the families of the previous Santa Claus. Since Santa has to be married, some probably had children, but when they die they are immediately replaced:

Here's a little festive question for you… what is the most stone-cold brutal, horrific Christmas film ever made?

Home Alone

As promised, another Home Alone one. And this one is on a lot of sites. But the main idea here is that Gus Polanski is the Devil. This is based on him showing up right after Kate McAllister proclaims: “If I have to sell my soul to the devil himself”. Add to that the Scranton airport has a crossroads, which is where you’d make a deal with the devil.
