The Worst Christmas Movies of All Time, Worse Than a Lump of Coal

Christmas movies are an annual tradition. And there are new ones every year. But will all those movies, you’re bound to get more than a few stinkers. So, sure, it might be a wonderful life. But these holiday movies are anything but. Need a gag gift?

Or an ironic flick to make fun of at your holiday parties? Check out the worst Christmas movies that have our critics yelling, “Bah humbug!”

Santa Claus Conquers The Martians

Usually, Santa’s deal is “deliver presents to every kid on earth then head back to the North Pole”.

And when he steps out of his planetary jurisdiction, we get bizarre dreck like Santa Claus Conquers The Martians. Check out the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode featuring this film for a bonus stocking stuffer.

Surviving Christmas

[dx_custom_adunit desktop_id=”RTK_K67O” mobile_id=”RTK_5yk0″]

Made in Ben Affleck’s prime Gigli days, Surviving Christmas is a uniquely unpleasant affair. It tries to be the holiday equivalent of Meet The Parents, with awkward familial interactions and comedic setpieces. Instead, it’s a pointlessly ugly, mean-spirited film.

Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2

The first Silent Night, Deadly Night is, if you’re in the right mood, an effective little holiday slasher. The second one is, to put it simply, not. It rehashes an egregious amount of footage from the first one, and is anchored around an unsettlingly bad performance.

However, if you’re in the right mood, it might be the perfect “so bad it’s good” holiday treat.

Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas

This movie’s capital W Weird. It feels like they gave Kirk Cameron, he of Growing Pains and born again Christian fame, an absolute blank check. And he used it to make a piece of satirical religious propaganda that’s also self-aware and full of meta trickery. It defies logic, reason, and any sense of normal filmmaking instincts.
