In a viral TikTok posted by Mythical Kitchen—the account behind Last Meals and Mythical Chef Josh—Culkin was asked the question that resurfaces every December like the ball of tangled lights pulled from storage: Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?

The GODFATHER of Christmas has weighed in on the "Is Diehard a Christmas movie?" debate... #LastMeals #MythicalKitchen
♬ original sound - Mythical Kitchen - Mythical KitchenThat “Godfather of Christmas” line may have been tongue-in-cheek (was it?), but fans in the comments were not feeling particularly jolly about the rest.
Commenters wasted no time dismantling Culkin’s logic—often by turning his own filmography against him.
Another pointed directly at the film’s premise: “Keep in mind the plot only happens because McClane travels to reunite with his family for CHRISTMAS.”

One particularly thorough response cut straight to the heart of the debate: “People are allowed to think Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie (they’re wrong), but strictly using his own logic, he’s even more wrong. Not only could Home Alone work with another holiday or no holiday at all, but Christmas is just as significant to the story and themes of Die Hard as it is Home Alone.”
Why This Debate Will Never Die (Hard)
Home Alone, which hit theaters in 1990, similarly uses Christmas as its backdrop, not its engine. Kevin McCallister’s family vacation, the burglars’ timing, and even the emotional resolution could theoretically happen during any long holiday break. Perhaps the argument holds more water if Marley (Roberts Blossom) was the protagonist and the movie was about him sneaking in to watch his granddaughter's Christmas service choir practice because he and his son are estranged. That hinges more on the specific ho-ho-holiday than the Wet Bandits.
That hasn’t stopped the internet from declaring them cinematic cousins anyway.
One could argue that "Keep the change, ya filthy animal" is just "Yippee kay-yay, motherf--ker" for kids.
'Keep the Change, Ya Filthy Animal'
But judging by the comment section—and decades of December rewatch traditions—this debate isn’t going anywhere.
