Holiday genre option?

[Squire387]

This is the time of year when I want to be able to see all the Christmas/holiday movies in my collection. But there’s no “Holiday” genre! Frustrating. Anybody figured out workaround?

There’s a feature request for something similar:

Holiday Theme and recommended movies

Hello all. With the holiday’s upon us. I was thinking on how the old days when watching TV. we have all these Halloween, Xmas etc… movies just showing. Would it be possible to have that for Plex server, local and remote devices? A way to customize our Recommended movies and shows or at least have Plex give an option to enable Holiday Decor skin on all devices and have the movies and shows that fall under those holidays?

Or, you could manually create appropriate collections:

You can give anything any genre you want. Just add it to the metadata of something and it will show in genre list.

AHHHHHHHHHHH, that makes sense. Awesome, thanks!

I did a Christmas library but also created a managed home user and named it Christmas Time for any guests who come over who want to watch something on their own and this includes access to holiday music as well. There’s options.

Great idea! Thanks
