It depends on your perspective. The story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is not a Christmas story, but it does have some elements of whimsy and wonder that are often associated with the holiday season. It could be argued that the movie has a festive spirit and a magical quality that makes it a good choice for a Christmas viewing. However, if you're looking for a more traditional holiday movie, you might want to consider something like "It's a Wonderful Life" or "A Christmas Carol" instead.
