Correction, it's set during Christmas time, but it's not a Christmas movie.

I mean, it is. Anyone that disagrees is ignoring the entire Christmas motif of the movie.

I rode on a plane in June that had it listed under Christmas Movies, so at the very least Korean Air agrees with you.

It's a film about a Christmas party.
A Christmas song plays over the end credits.

How is this even up for debate?

The whole scheme of Hans' plan is to rob Nakatomi during a time where there are hostages including Takagi, low volume of police occupancy, and when the sun sets earlier as he needs the FBI to cut the building's power. What better window than a Christmas party.

It could just be an office party and the plot still works, though. It doesn't specifically have to be a Christmas party.

Christmas isn't as central to that film, but it still opens and closes with Christmas music. Also, you can tell that the drug-pushing mercenary is a bad guy when he opens fire on a TV playing Christmas movies.

I would say because any other time of the year it won't get dark early enough in California for the feds to cut the power. I think Hans wasn't banking on Takagi being compliant and giving up the vault code so he needed a way for the power to be cut which can only come from downtown central command in L.A. and with some form of emergency authority. Since the FBIs plan is to make them stew in the dark, that's probably not effective in July or October since there's so much daylight time.

I doubt they took daylight savings time into account when writing the film. They just used a Christmas party because offices have Christmas parties. But it could also have been a NYE party, if we're talking about lighting.

It's about a man doing whatever it takes to reunite with his estranged family for Christmas.

With that said, my favorite Christmas movies are The Ref and Mixed Nuts.
