people in the theater sing Let It Snow when the end credits roll?

It's a Christmas sing-along.

I'm not sure if saying what song plays during the end credits constitutes a spoiler, so I erred on the side of caution.

It does not embody the spirit of Christmas nor does it even try to pay lip service to it. Christmas isn't the subject, it just happens to be there. You can't be a christmas movie if you aren't about christmas. Boring joke. It's as much a christmas movie as the Mr Bean Movie is a thanksgiving one because he blows up a turkey.

A lot of it screams Home Alone to me as well. Not sure how much there is to that. I'd probably take to Google before trying my hand at a comparison. Die Hard is just definitely the superior vision.

Home Alone doesn't have the same level of substance.

I don't know man, the whole reason he is even involved with the situation is trying to reconnect with his family. Thats a pretty strong Christmas theme.

It's a Wonderful Life has even less to do with Christmas. It's about a man learning what his sacrifices have meant to those around him.

Exactly. Christmas doesnt even appear until the 3rd act and yet people call it a Christmas movie.

Literally every "spirit of Christmas" movie is about families reconciling some bullshit grudge to spend Christmas together. Sometimes they have Santa and sometimes they don't.

If Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie then National Lampoon Christmas Vacation isn't a Christmas movie either.

It has a framing device of Christmas. You could replace it with Thanksgiving and it'd be the same.

That's true of any holiday film though.

Ralphie's birthday falls on Valentine's Day. When everyone else is worried about chocolates and cards, he's hoping against hope that his parents will get him that Red Ryder air rifle. There, I just turned A Christmas Story into A Valentine Story.

Maybe, but the message isn't the same there, is it? To be fair, though, I don't even like that movie.

Maybe, but the tone and message would be much different, as would a lot of smaller aspects that build it up to be a Christmas movie.

It is a Christmas movie. John learns the importance of family. In that he reconnects with his wife, and that when killing someone with a brother, it's best to kill the brother too lest the not-dead brother show up in New York and hold the city hostage.
