I’m old enough to remember a time that suggesting Die Hard is a Christmas movie would universally be met with uproarious laughter at the absurdity of the idea.

The only people who think it’s a Christmas movie don’t know what a Christmas movie is.

It has Santa Claus, presents, caroling, decorations.

It's a Christmas movie.

Of fricking course it's a Christmas movie. I love the idiots that debate that it isn't.

Again, I’ll point out that to those of us who remember when the movie was released (I was 18 the summer of 1988 when it was released) never considered it a Christmas movie. No one. The notion it is a Christmas movie only started in the last roughly 10 years when it be became popular and edgy to argue it’s a Christmas movie. Before the 2010s, nobody ever argued that it is a Christmas movie. Stop pretending like they did.

So a movie has to be released around Christmas to be a Christmas movie?


The overall storyline of an individual keeping thrives from committing a robbery is crucial to Die Hard and Home Alone. Both events occur on Christmas Eve.

Why is Home Alone a Christmas movie and why can’t Die Hard be considered one?

Did I say that? No. All I am saying is that no one considered it a Christmas movie until a few years ago when it became the edgy thing to do on the internet. And if you’re like me and were alive and old enough to remember the 80s or even the 90s, you already know this. Stop pretending like it’s been considered a Christmas movie all along. Because we both no it hasn’t.

Then I guess Eyes Wide Shut is a Christmas movie too, huh? Trading Places?

It's just a dumb meme, dude.

I have it catalogued as a Christmas Adjacent movie. Like Gremlins. Christmas is more a setting and context thing than a plot element.
