Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper! sticks closely to the conventions of the holiday romance genre. The narrative centers on a male protagonist's journey, limiting the exploration of diverse perspectives and identities. The film relies on traditional Western holiday themes and social structures, favoring familiarity and comfort over challenging gender hierarchies or including diverse identities. Overall, the production lacks visible representation for LGBTQ+ individuals, diverse ethnic groups, or characters with disabilities. It serves as a traditional, lighthearted genre piece rather than a tool for social or cultural exploration.
