You wouldn’t be able to celebrate Christmas without the Christians forcing everyone to call it that. You’d be celebrating a holiday with a different name.
If the characters in the movie call it Christmas, then a whoville Christ had to exist.
Christmas is just a name that’s used for it in English. You don’t ever pronounce it like Christ the name. There’s no point in using another name in a kids movie because then little children might not know it’s the same holiday.
In my country the name has nothing to do with Christ. We celebrate Jõulud. Though the tradition itself is older than the name. Meaning the whos can celebrate the exact same holiday with no implication of christ existing if you just switch languages.
That quote doesn’t disagree with anything I said.

Ok, but that doesn’t change the origin of the name Christmas.
