For me, it's jingle all the way. It's got everything. A drunk reindeer. A terrorist mailman. Arnold punching a deer. Arnold punching Sinbad. Arnold punching Santa. Arnold in general.

Edit: sure are a lot of die hard fans of Die Hard.

It's genuinely Die Hard. Calling it a Christmas movie used to be something I said for fun, but somewhere along the line, watching it at Christmas has become an actual tradition that I look forward to

    Absolutely in the same boat as you. Used to be home alone (1&2) but the past 5 years or so the first Christmas movie I put on is Die Hard and I can’t imagine that changing anytime in the future.

    If you're the kind of person who counts Die Hard as a Christmas movie, I seriously suggest you watch The Long Kiss Goodnight as a contender. Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson co-starring in a Christmas flavored spy adventure roadtrip.

    Here's a minute and a half to make my point.

    It's like how Star wars movies are Christmas movies.

    I don't mean it like that. I'm not trying to meme or anything. Yeah, meming is why I first started watching it at Christmas, but it's long stopped being about the meme and and debates about whether it's a Christmas movie.

    I watch it every Christmas now because it has become a genuine tradition for me
