It's a Christmas movie. It's got someone travelling to be with their family with the hope Christmas will bring them together.
Christmas visuals run through the whole movie - the party, trees, toys.
Every opportunity sees a Christmas element thrown in - even the tape McClain uses to stick the gun to his back at the end.
The dialogue is full of references to Christmas.
It has a soundtrack full of Christmas.
The good guys talk about Christmas, the bad guys talk about Christmas "don't you believe in miracles Theo?"
To totally misquote a very early bit of dialogue?
"Don't you have any Christmas movie?"
"Man, THIS IS a Christmas movie."
Me and my wife watch it every Christmas Eve before she heads of to work to do Midnight Mass - she's a vicar. She's as convinced as I am that it is a Christmas movie.
