13) Cultural Perception

Despite the ongoing debate, most people don’t think of Die Hard as a Christmas movie. Polls consistently show that audiences view it as an action thriller first and foremost. The holiday setting adds flavor but doesn’t define the movie’s identity. Many viewers only associate it with Christmas because of the tradition of watching it during the holidays, not because it shares the themes or tone of other seasonal favorites. The debate itself has become part of the movie’s legacy, but the cultural consensus leans toward it being more of a high-octane action flick than a feel-good holiday classic.
