Chicago: The Undisputed Christmas Movie Capital
It’s that time of year again – the air is crisp, the lights are twinkling, and we're all collectively questioning our life choices while watching yet another Christmas movie set in Chicago. I mean, seriously, what’s up with that?

| Why Do All Christmas Movies Take Place In Chicago |
Is There Something in the Water?
You'd think by now Hollywood would've run out of snow-covered Chicago backdrops. But nope, they keep churning out these festive flicks like it's going out of style. It's like they have a secret pact or something. "Hey guys, let's set another Christmas movie in Chicago. People love that stuff!"
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.
I'm starting to suspect that there's a hidden clause in every Hollywood contract that says, "Must film at least one Christmas scene in Chicago." It's like the city has some kind of magical Christmas dust that makes everything instantly more heartwarming. Or maybe it's just the deep dish pizza.
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
The Case for Chicago Christmases
Okay, okay, I'll admit it. Chicago does have a certain charm during the holidays. The snow-covered skyscrapers, the iconic red line, and the general sense of frosty chaos definitely lend themselves to a good Christmas story. And let's not forget those cozy suburban homes with fireplaces bigger than my apartment.
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
But still, it's getting a bit repetitive. I'm starting to think that the next Christmas movie should be set in, I don't know, Miami. Or maybe the Sahara Desert. Just to mix things up a bit.
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.

A Plea to Hollywood
Dear Hollywood,
We love you. We really do. But please, for the love of all that is holly and jolly, give other cities a chance. There are plenty of other places in the world that would love to be the backdrop for a heartwarming Christmas tale. Think about it: a Christmas movie set in Hawaii? Or maybe Alaska? The possibilities are endless!
Sincerely, A Tired but Hopeful Moviegoer
