Some tropes happen in every Christmas film and are left with a big fat question mark on it to leave the audience confused. Or just for the simple pleasure of leaving the audience with the unknown.
Why is the Christmas tree always put up til the very last minute?
It seems as if the Christmas tree is always put up the day before if not the day of Christmas and it has become a trend with recent films that makes some people question if putting the Christmas tree up after thanksgiving is acceptable.
Dad is always too busy
Why is it that the dad is always working on Christmas and doesn't get home until late at night when the kids are already asleep? Isn't everything closed?
There is always time to fall in love
Something about these Christmas movies leaves anyone with the hope of maybe not being single for next year's thanksgiving dinner when aunt Janice asks you where your significant other is this year. it is impossible to miss the connections that are formed throughout these films even if they are a little cringe.
The kid is always the savior
It always works out that the kid who believes in Christmas so much always saves the day in some way, they see something disturbing like their parent struggling and make a wish to Santa to help his family. Magically by the end of the film their wish comes true and all issues are solved.
Parents don't believe in Santa
The parents in these Christmas movies are typical parents who plan their gifts ahead of time and go along with the story that Santa is real. Come to find out that their kid saying I saw Santa last night was real, but how?
It goes to say all these tropes are what keep people coming back for more because even though it is very predictable acting like it was never seen coming is so fun.
