That’s the classic argument—and it’s totally fair 😄

Your position is essentially:
* Genre = action
* Setting = Christmas
* Therefore, it’s not a Christmas movie, just an action movie that happens to take place during Christmas.

People on the other side usually argue that:
* The entire plot only works because it’s Christmas (office party, family reunion, empty building)
* Christmas themes like reconciliation, family, and goodwill are baked into the story
* Christmas music and imagery are used intentionally, not incidentally

So the disagreement really comes down to what defines a “Christmas movie”:
* If it must be about Christmas → you’re right
* If it just needs Christmas to be essential to the story → Die Hard qualifies

In other words:
You’re arguing genre-first. They’re arguing plot-dependence.

And honestly? That debate is now as much a Christmas tradition as the movie itself 🎄💥
