The author of the book [Christmas in the Movies](https://www.amazon.com/Turner-Classic-Movies-Christmas-Celebrate/dp/0762492481) was interviewed on TCM by Ben Mankiewicz. Ben put the question to him and according to this published expert on Christmas movies, _Die Hard_ is indeed a Christmas movie. Little details like the Christmas party, Christmas decorations, Christmas music, and the entire movie taking place on Christmas Eve are hints that it is a Christmas movie.
