C) Christmas movies can also be a theme where some moral achievement occurs that is in the spirit of Christmas. Scrooge realizes being an asshat is not a good way to live his life, or realizing that your presence in the world has definite impact on the lives of other people a la Miracle on 34th St, etc. Kids movies usually involve being good so Santa will bring presents. There's also the family coming together (whether that's good or bad, but still overcomes to good).
The conversations I've had about this with people that do not think Die Hard movies are usually based on this more than a release date or a winter time setting using Xmas deco in the movie. They don't know that's what they are getting at, but it's what I've come up with to explain it.
