In an article with The Rainbow Times, Ryan shared:
“Making the ‘It’s Christmastime’ music video allowed me, as a trans person who’s been out over 10 years, to take back Christmas. It allowed me to create a positive feeling about Christmas, the feeling I had as a little kid before I came out as trans and before all the deadnaming and misgendering begun,” he explained. “I want to share that feeling with the rest of my community, a community, who can really use their days to feel a little brighter. I hope the video serves as a reminder for the entire LGBTQ community that things do get better and brighter with time.”
