For me, it's jingle all the way. It's got everything. A drunk reindeer. A terrorist mailman. Arnold punching a deer. Arnold punching Sinbad. Arnold punching Santa. Arnold in general.

Edit: sure are a lot of die hard fans of Die Hard.

It's like how Star wars movies are Christmas movies.

Not at all.

Die Hard at its heart it is a story of a man trying to bring his family together. His presence in the story is one of traditional family values thrown into a world where they aren't valued.

I don't mean it like that. I'm not trying to meme or anything. Yeah, meming is why I first started watching it at Christmas, but it's long stopped being about the meme and and debates about whether it's a Christmas movie.

I watch it every Christmas now because it has become a genuine tradition for me

Yeah same for me with Star wars. I know I'm not the only one, but it's just fun.

Have you seen the Star Wars Christmas special?

Unfortunately.
