The Villains of Christmas Movies: A Festive Hall of Shame 🎅🔪

Let’s be honest — Christmas movies would be boring without at least one cranky chaos-goblin trying to ruin the holidays for everyone.
Thanks to People magazine, we now have the official ranking of the Best Christmas Movie Villains — the troublemakers who add a little drama to all that joy and gingerbread.

🎖 #1 — Mr. Potter (It’s a Wonderful Life)

The reigning king of holiday grumps.
This man sees Christmas spirit the way we see a dryer full of unmatched socks: pure misery.
If scowling were a sport, he’d be Olympic gold.

🕸 #2 — Oogie Boogie (The Nightmare Before Christmas)

A singing sack of bugs with Vegas-showman energy.
Equal parts catchy and horrifying — like if your weighted blanket suddenly started performing jazz.

🐀 #3 — Scut Farkus (A Christmas Story)

The original snowy-sidewalk bully.
His entire personality: pushing kids into snowbanks while wearing a dead raccoon on his head. Iconic and terrifying.
