OK, so what defines a film as a Christmas film?

A schmaltzy storyline? A spirit of Christmas running theme?

i have this argument every year and do you know why? cause there is a minority of people who think it’s cool to say die hard is a christmas movie, it was released in November 88 (not in december), the fact it’s set christmas eve has nothing to do with the actual plot of the movie, not to mention it isn’t a great movie anyway, have you watched it recently? it hasn’t dated well at all....... kinda like the police academy movies

And home alone is about a really dysfunctional family who manage to leave a child home alone and two criminals who terrorised a small child.

Yet that's classed as a Christmas film!!!!

No, but it does have death, infidelity, marriage breakdown and a guy coveting his friends wife, not such pleasant things.

So it's specifically the terrorists that make it not a christmas film?

Surely we are talking about the tradition of watching it at xmas rather than it being about Santa etc.

Fools and horses xmas specials weren't actually about xmas but were still a xmas tradition in our house
