Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel is shown over the Christmas period – and in Germany, the film was screened a massive 12 times from December 24th to 28th in 2018, a pattern which is pretty much repeated every year. Many German Winterholidays aren't perfect without having watched Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel (at least 5 times). https://t.co/qz1XvPJE3z pic.twitter.com/gLmZKSpELJ — MDR Presse (@MDRpresse) November 30, 2018Indeed, despite being a Christmas classic - the movie isn’t really a Christmas film at all, in that it doesn’t have any of the hallmarks of a traditional Christmas film. Much like how Dinner For One has become a television fixture in German-speaking Europe on New Year’s Eve, Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel is now synonymous with Christmas across much of the continent. #Servicetweet für die Weihnachtstage ❤️ Es ist wieder Zeit für "Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel"!
