About this listen

What gets you in a festive mood? For some it’s the lights and mulled wine, wrapping gifts and decorating their home – and for others it’s a Christmas movie! But what is a Christmas movie, anyway? Let’s discuss this with my colleague Professor Suzanne Enzerink! She picks the most American, the most iconic, and the most underrated American Christmas movie.

Suzanne had joined us earlier for Episode 18 to discuss “Hollywood in Times of Political Division.” A Dutch native, she did most of her American Studies coursework at the University of Groningen, with an exchange at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and then obtained a PhD at Brown University. Before joining HSG, she served as an Assistant Professor at American University in Beirut. Her first book, Give Me Color, is scheduled be published in spring 2026.
