No. It’s a movie that was released around Christmas. Big difference.

No. It’s a movie that was released around Christmas. Big difference.

The entire movie is set around a Christmas party.

If the phrase "Now I have a machine gun. Ho Ho Ho" doesn't get you in the Christmas spirit, I don't know what to tell you.

Is die hard a christmas movie?

Listen to the soundtrack in key parts of the movie and you have your answer.

Christmas in Hollis
Let it Snow
The Hymn of Joy (Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee)

I run it as a Christmas movie. This year we will have nakatomi Christmas party cups in store. Heh.

It is

It isn't, but only if you look at the structure of the movie. Structurally it's a heist movie set around the Christmas holiday. There are few of the typical themes you see in Christmas movie - kindness, generosity, faith, family. You could say the reconciliation of John and Holly could be an example of family, but it's secondary to the heist plot line. Also, it was released as a summer blockbuster and it wasn't marketed as a Christmas movie. It wasn't really widely considered a Christmas movie until social media grabbed onto the Christmas backdrop and related gags and TBS (or whoever) started showing it every year.

ON THE OTHER HAND, I watch it every year at Christmas. It's probably my favorite movie and I'm glad it's become an annual tradition for future generations. Christmas movie? Sure. Action Thriller? Yup. One of the best movies on the 20th century? HELL YEAH.
