Rockstar snuck a Die Hard reference into a Christmas sweater that most players missed

The 'Ho-Ho-Ho Sweater' in GTA Online recreates the exact sweater worn by terrorist Tony Vreski in Die Hard (1988), which Bruce Willis's John McClane defaces with 'NOW I HAVE A MACHINE GUN HO-HO-HO' in red marker after killing him. Rockstar turned one of cinema's most violent Christmas moments into cozy holiday apparel.

The Retired Criminal — Christmas cozy, sure, but not the exact replica. Rockstar went deep-cut '80s action when they crafted that Ho-Ho-Ho masterpiece.
