Aussie here, to me xmas = summer time. Xmas movies always felt irrelevant, and the idea of Santa wearing all his gear is mental when it’s often 40C+ and humid af.
Being cold would feel alien that time of year, even more so if it snowed because that doesn’t happen in 99% of the country regardless of the time of year.
also i’ve told some US friends about my new years plans: outdoors, festival, parties kinda thing… they’re blown away by how amazing it sounds for this particular period

Yeah. Sitting by the pool in 25c watching the kids have a swim
I did spend 10 years in northern England from 2000 and a cold possibly white Christmas took ages to get used to
Lol yup, total opposite! Plus the prevalence of North American/Hollywood movies/shows usually depict snowy Christmas.
