Christmas Fantasy, Fantastical Stories of Christmas | Hidden Genres

Описание: Every winter, the world changes.

Strangers arrive in the night.
Rules bend.
Belief holds the key to Christmas spirit.

From a bitter green outcast, to ghostly guides to figures who only appear once a year, Christmas stories keep returning to the same messages — not by accident, but by design.

This video explores the hidden fantasy genre woven through films & books like The Grinch, The Polar Express, A Christmas Carol, Santa Claus, Jack Frost, and Red One. We break down how these stories share the sweet childlike message of believing.

Join me this Christmas season to explore the childlike wonder of our Christmas memories of our modern stories.
