same reason why people care about the oxford comma or TP roll direction: Die hard is obviously a xmas movie because it takes place at xmas and makes references to it, it is obviously not a xmas movie because it has literally nothing to do it. Two easily arguable sides

Because Christmas is funny. Bad comedy is easy to upgrade just by throwing in Christmas themes. Bad guys with silly one-liners is just okay. But when those bad guys are wearing those Christmas hats, it's funny. Gremlins without Christmas wouldn't have been nearly as funny.

Cuz it’s a fun way to cross-troll religious and pop-culture blowhards.
