The festive spirit of "Christmas in July," when we engage in yuletide-themed fun enjoyed during the heated height of summertime, seems to shine brightest in the merry movies we love to watch.
We're not really wearing our ugly holiday sweaters — too toasty — or sipping mugs of steaming cocoa, which also raise our temperatures. But we can settle on the couch for a snowy cinematic story or two and maybe a cool glass of peppermint iced tea.
We can also look ahead to the season soon to come, which will be here before we realize it, and plan the sort of playful outings that enhance the Christmassy spirit.

Winter Fest OC is one of those effervescent experiences, an activity-packed attraction that rises at the OC Fair & Event Center each November.
The event is sledding into its 10th anniversary in 2024, but you won't need to wait to feel all of those frosty feels: A "Christmas in July" ticket sale begins on Monday, July 22.
You'll save more pennies than a tree has ornaments; in fact, you'll score an anytime general ticket while saving $25 or about half-off for an adult.
