Of course it's a Christmas Movie! They mention several times in the movie it is. Dude even dressed up a corpse as Santa to troll the bad guys. And there were even Christmas songs played just so you know it was officially a Christmas movie.

100% Classic American Christmas Movie. Probably the best movie of the season by a light year. Remind her that being incredibly entertaining is not a bar to being a season-movie, a film can be both.

Yes, it has Christmas music, christmas decorations, it is at a christmas party, Hans Gruber is a German Grinch, and it has a happy ending.

It's not a Christmas movie because it's not a movie about celebrating Christmas. It's just a movie who's timeline takes place during Christmas.

I don't really understand the desire for people to label it as a Christmas movie, but whatever floats your boat I guess.

Christmas is essential to the movie. Without Christmas, John would have never been in LA. Additionally, the terrorists needed the building to be basically empty yet have enough people to take hostage and the Christmas party provided a perfect opportunity to do so. Christmas is essential to the movie, therefore Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
