CMV: Die Hard is in fact a Christmas Movie.

To constitute a Christmas movie, in my opinion, the movie has to follow a few key criteria. 

1) It must be set in Christmas time. (Obviously)

2) The plot must be dependent on Christmas as a theme. 

The second criteria is key here. Without Christmas, Die hard doesn’t really make sense. 

-The setting of the terrorist attack on Nakatomi Plaza wouldn’t have happened if the building wasn’t at bare bones staff, with a small amount of people attending a party. 

-A lot of key aspects of the movie wouldn’t be available if it weren’t Christmas, such as disinterest in the police originally. 

I’m currently watching the movie so please feel free to try and prove me wrong, or change my view!

"Die hard is a Christmas movie" is only a thing because of the quasi ironic subversion of expectations of what a Christmas movie is. You are not actually trying to make the case that die hard is tonally or thematically in line with other movies traditionally considered Christmas movies. The only reason to bring up die hard in this context is because it is so very different from those movies and the only qualification it has is that it's tangentially set in Christmas time. This *was* kinda funny the first time it was pointed out and passed around but is super tired and played out now.

That being said: A Christmas movie is any movie you traditionally watch on or around christmas.
