Center
Primary
The film focuses on apolitical themes of individual perseverance, family devotion, and romantic love within a festive holiday setting, presenting a personal solution to economic hardship rather than engaging with political ideology or systemic critique.
The movie features visible diversity in its cast, including a single mother protagonist, LGBTQ+ characters, and diverse supporting actors. However, the narrative largely adheres to conventional romantic comedy tropes, with economic challenges resolved through a romantic relationship, and treats gender disguise primarily as a comedic device rather than a deeper exploration of identity.
Secondary
My Secret Santa features a gay brother character whose presence is incidental to the main plot. His role is minor, serving as a plot device rather than offering a substantive exploration of LGBTQ+ identity or themes. The film's primary focus is on family, personal growth, and romance, resulting in a neutral portrayal of LGBTQ+ elements.
Based on available information, *My Secret Santa* (2025) does not feature transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on financial struggles and romantic dynamics, with no indication of trans identities or experiences being part of the storyline or character set.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The character Taylor Jacobson, canonically female in this original story, disguises herself as a male Santa Claus within the film's plot. This is an in-story gender disguise, not a change of the character's established canonical gender, and thus does not meet the definition of a gender swap.
The film features original, contemporary characters not derived from prior source material or historical figures. Therefore, no character's established race was altered, and no race swap occurred.
