When Christmastime rolls around

When Christmastime rolls around, movie fans know good movies are coming their way, and this year is no exceptions.

Hi,

Does "rolls around" in the above mean "is around the corner?" Thanks.

Hi, We often think of the years as 'revolving', eg Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, followed by the same thing again and again. The idea in your quote is that Christmas recurs, again and again and again. Clive
