Does Home Alone, though? Christmas is barely referenced the entire movie outside of the beginning and the end, other than some music.

I'd agree Home Alone 2 does, though.

For me its the throughout. Die Hard, confirmed Christmas party, I gotta machine gun ho, ho, ho line, Run DMC, awesome for sure. But then it becomes an action movie of a cop fighting terrorist.

Home Alone from the get go is a Christmas spirit driving movie. Constantly, throughout. The manger, the choir singing, the old man who was thought to be a serial killer reconciling with his son. Kevin coming to appreciate his whole family including Buck. Just an overload of that spirit.

Currently watching Elf, and it got me in the feels. Something Die Hard will never do from a Christmas perspective. But its a great movie, and if you want to watch it as a traditional Christmas movie then thats awesome imo. Either way Ive clearly had too much egg nog and have smoked myself stupid. So happy holidays yall, whether its Die Hard or Earnest Saves Christmas, have a safe one.
