No, I mean Die Hard is definitely a Christmas movie. Home Alone was just set during Christmas, to help the storyline of having Kevin's entire family fly off together to leave him alone in his house for burglars.no, i mean home alone is definitely a Christmas movie. Die Hard was just set during Christmas, to help the storyline of having a lot of people at the office gathered for hostages.
Die Hard isn't a Christmas.movie because the plot doesn't depend on Xmas...otherwise The Godfather would be classed as one and all considering at least half of it was set during Chrimbo.
You can say that about a lot of films classed as Xmas movies though (Home Alone, Gremlins, Trading Places, hell even It's a Wonderful Life). I guess if you go by that rule then the only real Xmas movies would be ones that are Santa or A Christmas Carol related.
