Not sure why you're being downvoted

Its a absolutely horrible movie, and not really related to xmas at all yet I always see it on random xmas movie lists.

Are you sure those lists are referencing this one and not the original Laurel and Hardy version? That one that used to play on TV around the holidays all the time, and I have fond memories of watching it as a kid.

Yep, no apparent relation to Christmas except that it takes place in the winter and kind of has to do with toys.

It’s based LOOSELY on a very old public domain musical which was explicitly set at Christmas and had a big musical number called “Hail to Christmas.” But every adaptation since has cut that song, so the connection becomes negligible.
