The Die Hard franchise moved away from Christmas entirely after the first film, showing that the holiday setting was never essential to its formula. Later entries in the series focus on new locations, bigger threats, and even more intense action sequences without tying themselves to any seasonal themes. If Christmas had been an integral part of Die Hard’s identity, the sequels would have leaned into it. Instead, they double down on action and suspense, proving that the holiday backdrop in the original was just a convenient way to stage the story, not something that defined the franchise’s tone or direction.
