7 Must-See 'Bad' Christmas Movies

Everyone loves watching movies during Christmas, but which films are so bad that you just can’t look away? Christmas movies are not generally known for their high quality, so there are plenty to choose from. However, some have sunk just a little lower. That does not mean we love them any less because a true film buff cannot help but enjoy picking out flaws and plot holes. Here are the worst of the worst to check out over the holidays.
7. Jack Frost 1 and 2 (1997, 2000)
Did you know they made TWO of these movies? The first one was bizarre, but the second one was a wild ride. A janitor spilled a cup of coffee on the antifreeze used to kill Jack Frost at the end of the first film. Then, when he was resurrected for another movie, it was a banana that finally took him down. These slasher pics were not meant to be taken seriously. They were great fun for the holidays, but you will never look at a carrot nose in the same way again. If you want National Lampoons Christmas Vacation humor in your horror movies, this is for you.
Jack Frost 1 and 2 are available to stream on Amazon Prime.

6. Susan Boyle: The Christmas Candle (2013)
Yes, they made this film. We were surprised as well. If you are not aware who Susan Boyle is, she was a Scottish miner’s daughter who shot to stardom singing “I Dreamed A Dream” on Britain’s Got Talent back in 2009. She was also famously camera-shy, so it was incredible this was made. The film itself was cheesy and predictable, but if you were in the U. K. when it went Boyle mad, it will be a trip down memory lane.
5. Falling For Christmas (2022)
To be honest, Lindsay Lohan deserved a better script than this. Every Hallmark cliché is crowbarred in there. The only one that was missing was the bakery (there’s always the sequel). Watch it if you are in the mood for back-to-back Christmas rom-coms.
Falling For Christmas is available to stream on Netflix.
4. A Karate Christmas Miracle (2019)
A boy believed that if he got a black belt in karate, then his dad would come back to life. It sounded cute but not when the movie used the same cinematography as Twin Peaks. It came complete with a weird psychic law professor and a spooky cinema scene. It was also very low budget, and the acting was suspect. Watch it if you like strange psychological mind-benders that happen to be set at Christmas time.
3. Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas (2014)
From the title, you already know it was going to be bad, but it was so much worse. There are some great Christian Christmas movies—heart-warming films for the whole family that remind you of the true spirit of the season. This is not one of those. It feels like a satire, but it is not. No one should have to see Kirk Cameron body popping. Watch it if you enjoy a cringe-fest.
2. Santa Claus Conquers The Martians (1964)
What do you get if you cross a dodgy 1960s sci-fi movie with a dodgier 1960s Christmas movie? Santa Claus Conquers the Martians! Martians go looking for Santa to kill him and ruin Christmas. The costumes looked like they were made by a parent for a school nativity. The sets were wobbly, and the plot incomprehensible. It’s no wonder everyone was amazed by Star Trek when it came out if this was what was in cinemas at the same time. This film is in the history books for the first on-screen appearance of Mrs. Claus. Check it out if you love looking for movie mistakes or cult classics.
1. Santa With Muscles (1996)
This movie starred Hulk Hogan in a sleeveless bro’ Santa. He fought bad guys with candy canes, jumped from moving cars, and saved orphans. There were so many plot holes in this film that it was hard to find something coherent. It used every cliché in the book. Despite being made in the mid-nineties, it unintentionally looked like the 80s. HOWEVER, if you like a fun Christmas movie, this is for you. It did not take itself seriously, and Hogan obviously knew that this was never going to be an Oscar winner. Watch this if you liked Jingle All The Way.
All of these Christmas movies are awful, but we still can’t wait to watch them all again.
