Purists might lean toward films like Miracle on 34th Street, White Christmas, and It’s a Wonderful Life, while others are drawn to funnier fare like A Christmas Story, Home Alone, Elf, and Christmas Vacation.
But for a select few, the person they turn to the moment Jack Frost begins nipping at our nose is one Bruce Willis.

We're Settling the Debate: Is 'Die Hard' a Christmas Movie?
The 1988 Bruce Willis film more than delivers with great dialogue, tons of action, and excellent performances. But is it a holiday movie?

Why Is “Die Hard” a Christmas Movie?
There is an argument that a movie should have a Christmas-based storyline or theme in order to qualify as a Christmas movie. Die Hard checks both boxes.
- The entire film takes place during a Christmas party! Does the Christmas party get invaded by terrorists who then hold all the employees hostage? Sure, and that’s when all the good stuff begins. It’s up to handsome policeman John McLane to save his estranged wife—and everyone else—from bad guy Hans Gruber and a team of henchmen. He does it all in an undershirt and a pair of khaki chinos—no shoes even!
- Over the course of this two-hour, 11-minute film, our hero walks through fire—well, glass—in order to put his marriage back together while putting bad guys out of commission.
Film buffs have debated whether 'Die Hard' is a Christmas movie or not for years -- but now, a guy who's very familiar with the art is settling it once and for all ... and he says, yea.
