Primary
The film's central themes of Christmas spirit, family, community, and tradition are largely apolitical, focusing on universal values rather than explicitly promoting any specific political ideology.
The movie features visible racial diversity within its cast, particularly in supporting roles, but does not engage in explicit race or gender swapping of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, without any explicit critique or central focus on DEI themes.
Secondary

This animated Christmas film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story focuses on traditional holiday themes without incorporating queer identities or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
