I say absolutely not. It's an action movie and a good one. But just because a movie is set around Christmas time, does not mean it is a Christmas Movie. Two such films are The Shining and Fargo. Both set around Christmas time and both feature Christmas items in them. Both are clearly not Christmas movies.
Who here thinks Die Hard is not a Christmas movie, and who here is wrong?

Lol, this from the guy who claimed ALL Okies were exactly like the characters in Netflix's "Tiger King". HA!
Full disclosure......I don't care for any of the 3 movies mentioned above.
An old Cherokee was teaching his grandson about life. "Inside me two wolves fight," he told the boy.
"One is evil - he is anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, lies, false pride, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, generosity, truth and faith. The same fight is inside you - and every other person, too."
The grandson thought for a minute and asked,"Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee replied, "The one you feed."
Definitively a Christmas movie. Quite possibly the best ever.

OK, it takes place around Christmas, but definitely not a Christmas movie. It is an action movie and I don't remember it dealing with Christmas.
Let's go Brandon!
Well the first one is staged against an office Christmas party with the underlying story about a marriage that could swing either way based on him showing up for the office Christmas party , ala' Hallmark theme .
It is a full blown bad guy grabs the wrong girl , short chase , hero escapes certain death , big chase scene with massive property damage , bad guy gets got in a spectacular kind of way ......so action movie ........
Theme of selfless giving , self sacrifice , boy restores girls faith in the relationship , it all happens set against the Christmas party back drop .
It's has been a seasonal staple since it's release ...... It ain't "Miracle on 34th street" .
On might argue with that "It's a wonderful life" isn't a Christmas movie but having been a seasonal staple for 50 years I'm sure of , it's pretty hard to say it's not though it opens , closes at a Christmas party ,and includes a Christmas tree set . scene .
I say it's in the eye of the beholder .

Scrooge 1935 edition with Alistair Sim, definitely a Christmas movie. Watched the Chevy Chase Christmas movie last night. Best part was where his brother dumped the waste tank of his motor home and gramps threw a match in the sewer. Blew up and got Santa's sleigh in the process. Frank
The Long Kiss Goodnight is a entertaining Christmas movie too.
Just dont lick the street light post your tongue will get stuck
Thanks be Christmas.
The book, "Christmas Carol", Dickens, says all.
Xmas Mark
Its NOT Christmas until I see Hans Greuber fall from.the Nakatomi building ��
actually if you actually look at christmas movies and at what the world has come to due to political and industrial ****ty nesss
Fargo
Die Hard
Gremlins
The Shining
All embody the seasonal stress and values of the modern industrial shopping season.
Alistair Sim's version is the best Christmas movie. Watch it every year. We just watched It's a Wonderful Life last night and we have Christmas music on.Originally Posted by samari46
It is a Christmas movie, so is The Searchers, Hondo, Pale Rider, The Cowboys, The Christmas Story, Bad Santa, Fat Man - if your going to watch a Christmas movie, watch something YOU ENJOY.
It's a great Christmas movie. Watched it again last night.
KE4GWE - - - - - - Colt 1860, it just feels right.
Well, the first two are at Christmas time. Second plays more on the Christmas theme, at least playing some Christmas music. And I like to watch the first two. Third, not so much, 4th no.
But it is all how you see them....
It's about as close to a Christmas movie as the movie "Pearl Harbor" was about the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.........

Nope I think the whole series is poo. If die hard is a Christmas movie then Quigley is an Australian tourism movie.
Sorry but "It's a Wonderful Life" is a REAL Christmas movie.
