Neither Christmas Vacation nor Christmas with the Kranks has been on the Hallmark Channel and they are Christmas movies.

Die Hard is a movie set at Christmas. Not a Christmas movie. Bruce Willis even said it wasn't a Christmas movie.

There are Christmas presents, Christmas trees, Christmas Cocaine and Christmas Killings in Die Hard.


Yes it's a Christmas movie.

You can personally consider it a "Christmas movie", but if Die Hard is your answer when someone asks what your favorite Christmas movie is, you're being an intentionally obtuse tryhard.

This was settled long ago, it's a Christmas movie. The phrase 'Ho Ho Ho' is written on a shirt, poking fun at the season

If we want to split hairs, It invented Action Christmas just as Silent Night, Deadly Night invented Horror Christmas.

It's been playing on IFC daily and they plan to play it continuously on Christmas Day.

They can't afford it just like they can't afford Home Alone, A Christmas Story, Scrooged, Christmas Vacation, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Gremlins, etc etc etc.

Yes, the only time it's ever discussed is around Christmas time especially by those claiming it isn't. Ergo, it's a Christmas movie. It's pivotal to the plot.

2009: lol that’s funny - never thought of that before. This should make for an interesting debate.

2018: kill me

I'll base it off of this:

It’s definitely a Christmas movie.

John McClane is coming home FOR CHRISTMAS attempting to patch things up with his estranged wife. He attends a CHRISTMAS PARTY and then just so happens to run into a terrorist plot. He easily handles these terrorists, reconciles with Holly, and the viewer assumes they had a merry Christmas.

Total Christmas movie.

Why would people want to question this?

Of course it is.

Christmas Music, Christmas Party, Happens on Christmas Eve, Family is a central motivator to the plot. Santa Hat, Lights.

Yes, top 10 all time. Hallmark Channel is for women and gheys. Die Hard is for neither.

Hope you and your boyfriend have a Merry Christmas

I think of it as both a Christmas movie and an action movie. Not sure why they have to be mutually exclusive.

Also, Die Hard makes me think of Christmas.
