Home Alone must have been a Christmas movie too

Movies get released at Christmas, so makers like to throw in a Christmas element.

Except for "Miracle on 34th St" which was released in the summer.

I was just kidding about Gremlins. I don’t consider either it or Die Hard a Christmas movie. My criteria for any movie to be a Christmas movie is it has to have these elements :

It has to be released near the Christmas holidays, preferably mid-November, and Christmas should be the main plot driver.

But each unto his or her own.

Yup it's always interesting to hear folks' opinions on the matter.

And then dismiss them for being wrong, because Die Hard is absolutely a Christmas movie.

Wait, you only listed two criteria.

Also, Miracle on 34th Street was released in the summer.  So... it's not a Christmas movie?
