Most of us can name at least one cliche holiday film. Titles like It’s A Wonderful Life, The Nightmare Before Christmas, or Miracle on 34th Street are but a few that come to mind.

But over the last couple of decades, people — and the media — have started broadening their definitions of what a Christmas movie can and should be. Hell, according to Rotten Tomatoes, Die Hard is one of the best Christmas movies of all time.

With its gunplay, gleeful swearing, and violence it’s not what most people would consider your standard Christmas flick, and yet apparently it is. In 2018, on the film’s 30th anniversary, 20th Century Fox even recut the trailer, reframing it as a zany Christmas comedy.

Any film genre, it seems, can count as a holiday movie so long as you inject a bit of Christmas time lore into the storyline — including even horror films. Mixing Santa with Satan or snowmen with serial killers might seem antithetical, but they are combinations that do exist within film, however deep you must dig to find them.
