Die Hard is a 10/10 classic - but for Christmas movies Lethal Weapon did it a year earlier and turned it up to 11.

Gremlins is a Xmas movie... PERIOD! More so than Die Hard. For the same reasons. Gizmo was a Xmas gift.

To be honest, I still consider it a Christmas movie, but in the case of them saying the movie isn't SUPER tied to Christmas, that's honestly what makes the movie special like Trading Places and Lethal Weapon. The movies' holiday details make them a fun seasonal watch, but not SO distracting that watching them out of season feels wrong. They're movies you can watch anytime, but have that seasonal bonus when watched on the holidays. To me, instead of the examples they gave, they should've gone more with something like Toy Story or Ted.
