The plot of Die Hard has little to do with Christmas. It could easily take place at any time of year without changing the core story. John McClane’s mission is to save hostages and stop a group of criminals, and while the setting is a Christmas party, it’s more of a plot device than a meaningful part of the narrative. The holiday serves as a backdrop to explain why so many people are gathered at the office after hours, but it doesn’t influence the characters’ actions or decisions. The story is about survival and redemption, not holiday traditions or celebrations.
