But he has a point, the movie covers US Thanksgiving through Christmas.

Since US Thanksgiving is such a key point in the start of the holiday
season, it works as either. Because there will be Christmas specials
starting on US Thanksgiving or shortly after. It hasn't happened in
recent years, but there was a time when FOX would air that "traditional"
Christmas classic, "Home Alone" on US Thanksgiving.
