For the TL;DR crowd:
"Either way, it’s certainly fair to say that
Die Hard is regarded as a Christmas movie in popular culture.
Like it or not, the association between Die Hard and Christmas is fast increasing and in years to come its Christmassyness will be beyond question.
Future generations will read in wonder that
Die Hard
was ever thought not to be a Christmas movie and articles such as the one you’re reading now will be seen as nothing but a massive waste of everyone’s time. Imagine that!"

Personally, I couldn't care less whether it is. I just like the movie because it's good.

When it comes to the subject of whether "
DIE HARD
" is a Christmas Movie or not, I think that we are entitled to our thoughts, views, feelings, and opinions on it.
If there are people who think that it is not a Christmas Movie then they have that right and if there are people who think that it is a Christmas Movie then they have that right.
I don't think there is anything wrong with anybody believing either.

I love that song!

Whether it is or isn't, I only watch it during the holiday season.

Die Hard
is not actually celebrating a joyous Xmas sprit, but uses it as a backdrop to play into the films scenario, atmosphere and humour. I wouldn't say its a typical Xmas movie, yet it can blend into this with its reunion theme. There is some leeway I feel it can be given.
Is
Lethal Weapon
a Xmas film?
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

It's only the
greatest Christmas Movie of all time
, Bubba!
Ho ho ho!

Those are other movies that are not about the holiday that it takes place on.

I don't give a damn about the H.Ween movies.
But since you brought it up….
They are not about H.Ween.
They are about a killer who does his terrorizing that just happens to take place on H.Ween.
Is there a point?
You're from the future?Well that's brilliant!Do they still have sandwiches there?

Did not change my mind.
DH is NOT a Christmas movie.
Never has been. Never will be.
I don't give a damn about the H.Ween movies.
But since you brought it up….
They are not about H.Ween.
They are about a killer who does his terrorizing that just happens to take place on H.Ween.

Released on July 20th.
Christmas movies come out around closer to Christmas time.
Boom, there it is.
Someone doesn't know their film history.
Miracle on 34th Street. Considered a Christmas classic.
Release date
June 11, 1947
Boom. There it is.
Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
Also, by your failed logic, Halloween H20, Halloween: Resurrection, Rob Zombie's Halloween and Rob Zombie's Halloween II aren't Halloween movies. All four opened in the summer, not October. All except Halloween: Resurrection opened in August. Halloween: Resurrection opened in July.
You're from the future?Well that's brilliant!Do they still have sandwiches there?

Die Hard is absolutely a Christmas movie.
'Nuff Said.

It's about a guy fighting terrorists.
Not sitting around a tree opening presents.
Therefore it is not a Christmas movie since it lacks Christmas as the main theme or basis of the movie.

Why would you care what the moronic networks do, Bubba? Still
the greatest Christmas Movie ever!

More proof that it is not a Christmas movie is that networks do not play it as a Christmas movie as they do with so many other real and bona fide Christmas movies.

And right back at ya, Cowboy!
