christmas

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the festive season' is the definition.
'Christmas' can be an answer for 'season' (Christmas is an example). I am unsure of the 'the festive' bit.

'its charms randomly' is the wordplay.
'randomly' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'roaming randomly' mean this).
'its'+'charms'='itscharms'
'itscharms' is an anagram of 'CHRISTMAS'.

'displays' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for christmas that I've seen before include "Nativity feast" , "Winter festival" , "The present day" , "Not in general use" , "Yuletide" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
