well, time to put up your Christmas decorations.......

Christmas officially starts September 21st.  I mean retailers start to churn for it. It is past that time fine sir. Get your tree up during summer. Set a new trend. Christmas starts in July and runs through the end of the year. Happy Holidays just got happier.

Right now?  Is the date on your Shield correct?

Yeah the date and time are correct, I selected "holiday" for theme, don't see Christmas as an option anywhere...

On the PC running my Emby server it seems to work, I see a Christmas themed BG but on both my Nvidia Shields and my firestick 4k I keep getting that annoying Jingle bells popup

I think that is normal, guessing they chose "holiday theme" to keep from using "Christmas"....  As not to offend people that don't like Christmas or have other beliefs..       But ebr could probably speak to that better than I, just a guess on my part...

Ah, okay, you've chosen the theme manually.  That is a part of that theme right now.  There may be options in the future.

In case anyone is still looking for a way to bulk edit NFO files to add a "Holiday" genre, I've accomplished this by using https://www.tinymediamanager.org/. 

1. give it your movie folder(s)

2. filter on "Santa" or "Christmas"

3. Bulk Edit and add the Genre

4. PROFIT!

(watch out though - "Life of Pi" shows up when filtering on "Santa" .. lol)
