10 Best Non-Christmas Christmas Movies

3. Iron Man 3 (2013)

For most fans of the MCU, the movie Iron Man 3 has little to nothing to do with Christmas. The main focus of the film isn't about the holiday, but is it? If you go back and give it a watch while looking for anything related to Christmas, you might be surprised at what you see.

Not only does the movie take place during Christmas (J.A.R.V.I.S. even has a stocking), it is an interpretation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

Tony is "visited" by the ghosts of girlfriends past, which led him to confront his present situation and even go so far as to cast a glance into his future as Iron Man.

It's a story of redemption and coming around for the superhero, which is set amid the Christmas season but also lines up rather well with the most Christmasy story ever told.
