As a Swede I think the main difference between "these are movies and shows that are popular around Christmas" is that it's always shown at the exact same time on the exact same channel and becomes a strict part of Christmas eve planning. This has its roots in that non-state broadcast TV was outlawed until 1992 (satellite TV broadcast from the UK was the workaround but far from universally adopted)
