The perennial debate over whether 'Die Hard' is a Christmas movie has been rekindled across social media and news outlets. CNN's Jake Tapper has weighed in, declaring the debate settled once and for all, suggesting that the film is indeed a Christmas movie. This sentiment is echoed by the film's screenwriter, Steven E. de Souza, who has compared 'Die Hard' to other holiday classics, and even an AI named Grok agrees with this classification. However, Bruce Willis has previously stated that 'Die Hard' is not a Christmas movie. A film historian has also confirmed its status as a Christmas film, and a public poll found Americans split on the issue. The discussion has spread internationally, with the movie being shown on Christmas Eve in the UK, although not everyone agrees on its status as a Christmas film. Some argue that 'Die Hard' shares key elements with other Christmas movies, such as family themes and a Christmas Eve setting, while others remain unconvinced, pointing out differences in the film's content and themes. Despite the divided opinions, 'Die Hard' continues to be a topic of festive season debate, with many asserting its place in the holiday canon.
