IYHO - Is Herbie the Love Bug a Sci-Fi/Fantasy Movie?

Sci Fi would just be a sub genere, but it does have the elements.
Its like Die Hard, people want it to be a Christamas movie, but its just a movie that takes place on Christmas,.,
( yes, i do understand i am taking my life in my own hands by saying this)

But what if Herby the Love Bug, went down a dark spiral and became Christine?
