It is that time of year once again when we all gather around the TV to watch our favorite Christmas movies. It is also that time of year when we get online and argue over exactly what constitutes a Christmas movie. This often means a particular spotlight on the seemingly endless question of whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie, but here’s one you maybe never considered. What about Jumanji?

However, the original film with Robin Williams does include a scene near the end that takes place at Christmas, which led one fan on Instagram to suggest it counts as a Christmas movie, and reboot co-star Karen Gillan has officially endorsed this position.
