I'm pretty sure the "there's snow, there's a Christmas tree, this is a Christmas movie!" is a joke though. I haven't ever done this joke myself. I guess still need to find what in Die Hard makes it a Christmas movie :) .

it's Christmas eve, part of the premise is a dude returning home t family for Christmas, there's a Christmas miracle (that he survives at all), the villain is after material gain and is about to ruin Christmas, and John's wife's name is fucking Holly! What more do you want‽

Amd the party he attends for Holly's work is a Christmas party. And his limo driver is very festive.

Maybe something combining a festive spirit with machine guns?

Really lol? Funny. I've never seen it.

I can only assume you're too young to have gotten around to it because I can't imagine anyone my age (older millennial) possibly being able to avoid seeing it even on purpose.

During one of the cuts to Argyle in the limo, he's listening to Christmas in Hollis by Run DMC.

Christmas movie.
