Rolling Stone's 30 Best Christmas Movies of All Time (2023 Update)

LET'S JUST GET one thing out of the way: Yes, Die Hard is a Christmas movie. One of the very best. But is it the best? And what exactly makes a movie a Christmas movie? It's not enough to be set around Christmastime, like much of Shane Black's oeuvre (see: Lethal Weapon, The Nice Guys), but a Christmas movie should boast scenes and themes tied to the holiday (family, charity, personal transformation) as well as visual reference galore.
