Only One Christmas Movie Has Been Nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar
During cold winter days, you can easily find yourself watching numerous holiday-themed animated movies, whether they’re on regular TV or streaming platforms. From classics like “Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas” to more recent ones such as 2018’s “The Grinch” and “The Star”, there’s an extensive collection of these films. In fact, Netflix even launched a new one called “That Christmas” in December 2024. However, just one animated Christmas movie has ever been nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar. This is partly because this award was only introduced in 2002, meaning that most of the animated Christmas films from the 20th century didn’t have a chance to compete for the prize due to the sheer number of them.
