What are some good anime to watch on Christmas?

I know Christmas is over now, but it's still the season and it's fun to talk about. I can only think of two anime that are entirely, unashamingly about Christmas. There's Itsudate My Santa, which is an OVA based on a manga by Ken Akamatsu, the same author who wrote Love Hina and Negima, and the Satoshi Kon movie Tokyo Godfathers, which I guess isn't "about" Christmas per say, but it takes place on Christmas and clearly spreads traditional Christmas values. Other than that you usually just get a single, one off episode in a slice of life or romance anime. The romance one actually makes sense culturally because Christmas is seen largely as a holiday for lovers in Japan, similar to Valentines Day.

I thought Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus fit very well. The whole season isn't about Christmas, but the consistent Santa theming makes it feel very holiday appropriate.

I still don’t know why they released it in the Summer season instead of just waiting for Winter and Christmas.

Especially with having both Halloween *and* Christmas episodes, it would have been an absolutely perfect airing release for Fall.

Erased. Not a Christmas anime or anything but the winter setting and mood kinda fit. Snow everywhere, quite nights, that's slightly depressing byt comforting feel. If you are in the mod of something serious and emotional rather than festive, it hits right..

I think the theme might be quite opposite to joy and harmony of Christmas 😂

Exactly that's what I said, lol 😆

Disappearance of haruhi Suzumiya. Takes place the week leading up to Christmas. Not exactly a Christmas movie, but it’s got a lot of heart.

The Concierge was an excellent Christmas holiday movie about helping others. Also lots of talking animals.

I don't know why but some Saiki K on Christmas time always lifts my mood, it's not a Christmas anime per say though (dunno if there is such a thing tbh)
