Cultural Perspectives on Holiday Rom-Coms

Holiday-themed romantic comedies in the United States often center around young couples finding love during Christmas, presenting a uniquely American narrative of romance and festivities. This phenomenon is contrasted with varying international perspectives on Christmas, especially in countries like Ukraine, where historical events have shaped different cultural priorities and sentiments connected to the holiday.
