Jordan Peele, who's latest 'horror' movie 'Get Out' was labelled as a comedy by the Golden Globes, has revealed that the flick is actually a Christmas movie.

The confirmation came when a Twitter user asked Peele, "Is Get Out a Christmas movie or am I about to upset my whole family?"

To which, Peele responded, "Let's see... there's a man with a white beard, multiple deer, a fire place, a bunch of snowflakes, and a guy named Chris goes down a dark hole! I'd say go for it!"

Recently, Peele responded to his debut movie getting nominated in the comedy category for the 2018 Golden Globes.

 

The 38 years old actor-turned-director tweeted, "Get Out is a documentary."

Many people took to Twitter to bemoan the category choice and argued it was an example of white privilege.

Ultimately, Peele said fans can "call it what you want, but the movie is an expression of my truth, my experience, the experiences of a lot of black people and minorities".
