You can get into all these technicalities about how it isn't, but it can definitely be a great movie to watch during Christmas. I mean, do all Christmas movies have to be like A Christmas Story or like Rankin Bass specials?

Nah

Everybody knows Christmas movies are about finding the true meaning of Christmas and being vague enough about it that nobody in the audience is invalidated.

It's an action movie that happens to take place at Christmas time. That's all. The sequel had nothing to do with Christmas, unlike Home Alone which both times were centered around Christmas vacation.

"happens to"?

How does that work? Did an actor forget a line, improv something about how it was Christmas and they decided not to reshoot the take?

Or did writers, you know, set the film at Christmas time in order to establish themes and tone and stuff?

The themes and tone are terrorists in a giant skyscraper.

It was shown at a local theater last year as part of their Christmas movie lineup. When the film was over, much of the audience joined in singing Let It Snow as it played during the end credits.

That sounds pretty Christmas-y to me.

The soundtrack has sleigh bells in it. I mean, this ain't a hill I die on, but what are the qualifications that a movie must check to be a Christmas movie? And even if it's not technically a Christmas movie, can we not just enjoy it as one? Something different is always nice.

Now that's a heartwarming and uplifting Christmas movie!

No. People only say that because someone else told them to call it a Christmas movie. Otherwise, they would call The Godfather a Christmas movie too. But they don't, because no one told them to think that about that movie.

Christmas is in one scene of The Godfather. Christmas is at the forefront of Die Hard.

I'm sure if an official definition of a Christmas movie were written out, it would be worded in such a manner to specifically exclude films like Die Hard.

Its literally about a man doing whatever it takes to save his family during Christmas Eve. He fights Hans Gruber and his men so that he can be with his wife. The entire reason why he came to LA was to try and see if he could make things right with his wife and be a part of his kid's life. How is it not a Christmas movie?

The only argument for it not being a Christmas movie is that it was released in July. If they had pushed it back to a December release date nobody would have batted an eye.
