Father Christmas Is Back

Some gender stereotypes are shown, such as the mother being uptight and the father laid-back. Also women take on domestic duties while men do tasks such as fixing the electrics. A family member comments that her lesbian sister comes out every Christmas but never provides "proof," which is a damaging attitude to uphold. Sexuality is expressed across age groups, from the younger adults in the family to the parents and grandparents, though there is some negative reaction shown by by the younger family members when mentioned. Characters are mostly White, with one Black member of the group, whose race is not mentioned nor is it explicitly made a part of his character.

A character is punched in the face though not seriously injured. A hunting rifle is held but not fired. A character faints on to the floor but is unharmed.

There is sexual innuendo throughout. Mild flirtation and kisses on the lips are shown, and there is the implication of sex off-screen on a number of occasions, though no nudity or actual sexual activity is shown. There is a seduction scene with a character in a "sexy nightdress," but it is played purely for humor. One character is seen tied to a bed in their underwear the "morning after." A character is seen topless from behind in the shower.
