Die Hard IS a Christmas movie. Let’s make that clear for starters. There may be many who don’t agree with me, but it looks like 20th Century Fox might share our views following the release of a special festive trailer to celebrate the film’s 30th anniversary.

Die Hard Christmas trailer
The studio has released a very light-hearted Die Hard Christmas trailer for the film that turned 30 years old in 2018.
If you’re unfamiliar with the plot (?), here’s a recap.
Facing Christmas 3,000 miles from his estranged wife and two children, New York policeman John McClane (Bruce Willis) flies to Los Angeles bearing presents and hoping to patch up his marriage. Stylish and cool Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) is in Los Angeles as well for the holiday season, but he’s not there to give out presents. He’s there to take: more than $600 million in negotiable bearer bonds from the multinational Nakatomi Corporation, where McClane’s wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) is an executive. When the takeover becomes hostile, it’s up to John McClane to take on the terrorists with all the grit and determination he can muster–but not without a sense of humor.

Die Hard had a theatrical release in cinemas all over the world earlier this month to celebrate the three-decade legacy of the film, arguably the greatest action movie of the last, well, thirty years at least.
The new promo has been released to celebrate the home release of the film, which is available now along with every other feature in the series.
Watch the Die Hard Christmas trailer below. Do enjoy, and make sure that Die Hard is played in your house this Christmas! It remains an absolute must all these years on.
