3 great Christmas-themed action movies that aren’t ‘Die Hard’ — including a killer Kris Kringle caper you need to stream before the sequel arrives in theaters next month

One of my best pals loves 1988’s “Die Hard” so much, he ‘makes’ me play a drinking game around it every holiday season. So if he reads the following, he’ll be loading up a stocking full of coal to bash my head in with. Look, John McTiernan’s legendary movie isn’t just arguably the greatest actioner ever; it’s a whole lot of folks’ favorite Christmas flick too. Still, other Christmas-themed action movies are definitely worth your attention this year, too.

John McClane will no doubt be throwing festive profanities at me for suggesting other festive actioners, but I really dig the following trio. First up, there’s “Carry-On”, a super-fun action-thriller that takes more than a few pages out of “Die Hard 2”. Next we have “Violent Night”, which is a dark comedy about a sociopathic Santa Claus that just so happens to have a sequel coming out next month. Lastly, there’s “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”, a beloved kinda Christmas comedy that helped put Robert Downey Jr. back on the map. It also gives me serious vibes of 2016’s “The Nice Guys”.

I’m obviously not telling you you shouldn’t watch “Die Hard” this holiday season. What I am saying is that you’ll be on my personal Naughty List for a long old while if you don’t give this trio of Christmasmas action treats a try. And after you’re done with them, check out the 5 best Christmas movies on Netflix, ranked by Rotten Tomatoes scores.
