Do you think they made it at Christmas just because it is more intense and fits the story better, or do you think they made it so it would become a loved Christmas film each year into the future?

What do you mean by "it is more intense"? The action is very intense in it.

Because of the airport setting, at Xmas you get more people travelling by plane to visit relatives and stuff, which makes the whole thing higher stakes because of high numbers of people coming and going on planes. And also it makes people more sentimental because you want everyone to get home to their families for xmas and you don't want some scumbag terrorists getting in the way. So it makes it more intense. But I wonder if they also planned that it could become a loved Christmas movie in the future because people will watch it each year at Christmas, or if that was just a happy coincidence for them.

Oooh yeah... I get them mixed up -.-
That's making it even more surprising the first one became such a loved Christmas film. It is just set in a building and just happens to be Christmas. Still prefer it to Home Alone at least. I also wonder this same thing about Home Alone too. I suspect they deliberately made that to be a Christmas film, rather than just set it at Christmas for the story. But I doubt they expected it to be a staple for so many people at every Christmas ever since.

They made it Christmas because the book was written that way.

Both the first and second are based on books, I believe.

Setting it on Christmas Eve means that 99% of the building is empty.
Is that a good enough reason?

Correct. Unrelated books by different authors, not a series, but still.
