Steve and Jason pick their favorite films set at Christmas that aren’t necessarily considered Christmas movies.
Christmas movies are nice, but sometimes you need something with a little bit more JUICE. There has long been a debate about whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie. That debate is boring as hell at this point. There is no debating that Die Hard is a movie set at Christmas that uses the season for thematic purposes. The Christmas-set action movie is a tried and true tradition, beloved by writers like Shane Black to put a Santa hat on someone wielding a gun and have beautiful white snow splattered with the shock of red, red blood.
