    I think people should make a distinction between “Christmas movie,” and “movie that takes place on or around Christmas.”

      I feel like that’s a very gradual gradient. Is it only when Christmas is a fundamental part of the story?

      For example your comment makes me think of the “Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie” people, but it would have been a completely different movie if not for the office Christmas party.

      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 :) .
