A heated debate takes place every year around Christmas time. It’s not about which relatives house you should visit for the holidays, it’s a topic with greater importance. It’s a question everyone wants to know the answer to but can’t seem to agree on. Is the 1988 film “Die Hard,” starring Bruce Willis, a Christmas movie .
1. It takes place during a holiday office party:
A lot of crazy shenanigans happen at holiday Christmas parties, at least according to Hollywood. Hans Gruber crashing your shindig is evidently one of the things to be worried about in December.
2. It has Christmas music :
The “Die Hard” soundtrack is loaded with Christmas songs. “Winter Wonderland,” “Let it Snow!,” “Christmas in Hollis,” and “Ode to Joy” are all on the soundtrack and make appearances in one form or another in the film.
3. John’s wife has a Christmas-y name:
She may not use the last name McClane, but Mrs. Gennaro’s first name doesn’t get much more festive than Holly.
4. There are presents involved:
John’s LA cop buddy Al buys snack cakes for his pregnant wife at a convenience store, Harry Ellis gives Holly a Rolex watch as company present, and the FBI gifts Hans Gruber with access to the Nakatomi vault after shutting off a local power grid .
5. Santa Claus makes an appearance:
You might remember that the first person John takes out is Tony, as they stumble down a flight of stairs during a fight early in the film. John sends Tony’s body down to Hans in an elevator, wearing a Santa hat and the message of “Now I have machine gun.
6. It snows at the end:
The last time it snowed in Los Angeles was 1962! But what better way to end a Christmas movie than with a little bit of snowfall.
7. The stats don’t lie:
According to a press release last year from DISH Network, 1.3 million Americans watched “Die Hard” on Christmas Eve in 2016.
