When is Die Hard on over Christmas and how to watch it

While it's hotly debated whether Die Hard counts as a Christmas film or not, there's no denying that it's fun to watch nonetheless.

It's become an iconic and traditional film to watch during the festive period since it was released in 1988.

Nonetheless, it makes a comeback pretty much every year on British screens and is usually broadcast multiple times across the season so you're sure not to miss it.
