6 reasons why Die Hard is definitely a Christmas movie

No. 3 Die Hard is packed with Christmas music

Aside from the Christmas carols, Die Hard was a movie with tons of festive music. In fact, there were three great Christmas songs throughout the movie. “Winter in Wonderland,” “Let it Snow,” and the classic “Christmas in Hollis” were featured prominently in the film.

What’s more convincing than just the three songs, however, is how well the lyrics to “Let it Snow” line up with Die Hard. They’re perfect.

"Oh, the weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightful And since we’ve no place to go Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow"

In Die Hard, the weather can be thought of as the atmosphere. It is, indeed, frightful. And the fire is obviously happening inside the building, with shootouts and explosions galore.

Similar to the song, John McClane really had no escape, nowhere to go. He was in the building until the end, and bullets were ready to fall like snow.

"Man it doesn’t show signs of stoppin’ And I brought some corn for poppin’ The lights are turned way down low Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow"

Even with glass in his feet, McClane didn’t stop. He fought. The corn poppin’ is obviously a metaphor the explosion of gun fire. After the elevator bomb the lights flickered, and it was time for some bullets to fall like snow again.

The songs don’t lie, folks. Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
