Overview
- Disney+ posted an Instagram graphic of 21 Christmas movies available this season that included Die Hard.
- The 1988 film appeared alongside seasonal staples such as National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and The Polar Express.
- By featuring the title in its Christmas collection, Disney indicated it regards the original Die Hard as a holiday movie.
- Only the first two Die Hard films are set on Christmas Eve, with later sequels dropping the holiday backdrop.
- This is a programming decision rather than a formal reclassification, and the pop-culture debate is expected to persist.
