it's a Christmas movie. It's pivotal to the plot.
Is it though? Change it to a retirement party after hours in the middle of August and the plot is basically the same.

It is.
You can't take out a main part of the plot and try to replace it with something else and then claim that makes it not a Christmas movie. That's like saying if you change the time of NL's Christmas Vacation to 4th of July, it is no longer a Christmas movie....well no shite. That's the whole point.
It wasn't a retirement party in August. It was a Christmas party. That is the entire reason that people are there. And Christmas themes and things pop up throughout the entire movie.
It's not even a movie that randomly happens to have Christmas in it. It is central to the plot of the movie and is rampant throughout.

Change the setting for A Christmas Story to a road trip to Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss and you get the same adult waxing nostalgic about his youth plot too.

Why would John McClane have visited his family across the USA for a retirement party in the middle of August? He wouldn't have been there had it not been for Christmas.

By that standard anything not involving Santa Clause isn’t a Christmas movie.
