Its holiday time and that means celebrating all the big guns of theChristmasseason.

But there are so many Christmas-themed characters who dont get the same red carpet treatment.

BAD MISTER FROSTY

Ive spoken at length aboutthe history ofClayFighterbefore.

Then he trades his top hat for a radical backwards baseball cap and goes reformed.

In the first game, his victory causes him to overtake the North Pole and take over.

In the second game, he becomes Santas personal gift-wrapper.

And yes, that is pretty damn spiffy.

But you know whats even more impressive?

Fixing Scrooge inthirty seconds!

Great speed run, bee.

Im glad it exists, but its certainly a novelty in film history.

is the work of angels), but ego.

He wants to create Christmas 2 and use its dominance to become the face of the holidays.

Already, Santa has a negative stigma attached to him for watering down Christmas values and commercializing it.

BZ takes those aspects and magnifies it without any of Santas redeeming qualities.

Then theres BZs final fate, which would be nightmarish if it wasnt so surreal.

The jerks done in by the corrupted Christmas magic that he helped create.

THE CHRISTMAS CREATURE

Glenn Jacobs has taken part in many ridiculous gimmicks and storylines over the years.

Yet none of these personas can compete with the Christmas Creature.

The Christmas Creature showed up at the end of 1992 in the United States Wrestling Association.

About a decade later, some wrestlers started putting ornaments on a stationary Kane backstage at a WWE show.

Jerry Lawler was on commentary and noted that Kane looked like, some kind of Christmas Creature.

COUSIN EDDIE

Im in the middle when it comes toNational Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

Its really just good background noise for filling out Christmas cards and whatnot.

Too bad the idea of giving him his own spinoff sequel shit the bed.

Ive seen it enough times to appreciate it for the silly and unique family film that it is.

Unfortunately, that also means keeping Santa on Mars indefinitely.

The cigar-chomping Santa admits that this isnt Garys fight, but allows him to come along.

HANUKKAH HARRY

As a concept, Hanukkah Harry is a simple one: the Santa of Hanukkah.

When their plans ultimately prove useless, they decide to just run off and find the Ice Cream Bunny.

And thats it for him.

It brings some questions to the table.

What exactly is Marleys relationship to the other ghosts?

Was he dragged into this or was this his own idea?

Was he given the same treatment as Scrooge at one point and if not, then why?

Is he still fated to a horrible afterlife or does his role in Scrooges story soften the sentence?

How much of the story is Marleys redemption?

Most female Christmas characters are mostly identified as a more important characters girlfriend or wife.

Or that time they gender-flipped George Bailey.

Shes the only kid in that story who even has a name.

Her crying at Frostys puddle remains is heartbreaking for a reason.

Too bad they never followed up on their friendship in any of Frostys many lousy sequels.

It was there that we got Minty the Candy Cane That Briefly Fell on the Ground.

Thats how we get bothIron ManandDoctor Strange.

Same ostracized freak plot, only without the fun characters and songs.

And without the sense of wonder.

Man, why did I even put this on the list to begin with?

Oh, right, the awesomeness of Rankin/Bass stop-motion.

THE OLD MAN

sighOkay, so.

I cant standA Christmas Story.

But my wife insisted on this entry, so here it is.

Even Ill admit that the leg lamp was pretty bitchin.

Ricky and his brother Billy were there when a man dressed as Santa Claus murdered their parents.

Thats where Ricky saw a random dude moving trash cans around.

With a mockingly sarcastic yell of, GARBAGE DAY!

Ricky shot and killed the bystander.

He then laughed to creepy music and blew at the end of his gun.

ROBOT SANTA

This slightly recurring villain fromFuturamais so delightful in his devious concept.

As humanity advanced in technology, they decided to try and make their own Santa in robot form.

They unfortunately screwed up the programming and his standards for what counts as nice went through the roof.

Also, hes excessively violent.

SKELETOR

Skeletor was always secretly a badass.

This comes to a head when he betrays both Hordak and Horde Prime by choosing to protect the children.

Using his magic blasts, he essentially fries Horde Primes vessel like the mother ship fromIndependence Day.

By the way, He-Mans a dick for not inviting him to his Christmas party afterwards.

Hell, their musical number is the only reason to look at the live-action remake.

While the duality is nice, Snow Miser is obviously the better brother.

Heat Miser is a sour curmudgeon while Snow Miser is like a lost 1960sBatmanvillain.

Hes more of a villain on the sidelines who might aid you because he has nothing else going on.

Even the differences in their songs back up that Snow Miser is more likable.

He actually has friends.

SUMPN CLAUS

As an adult, its hard to play by the rules all year.

Sometimes we slip and were naughty, screwing ourselves out of Santas annual gifts.

Luckily, theres another jolly, fat man to counter him.

One who decides that nobody in the North Pole should claim the higher moral ground.

That man is Sumpn Claus.

The one that truly stands out is none other than Buster Poindexter as the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Old fashioned magic and workmanship isnt enough these days and now you need radar and SWAT team elves.

Same deal for stuff likeFred Claus,Fairly OddParents, andArthur Christmas.

WOODLAND CRITTERS

You know what didnt age well?

There just isnt enough to hang your Santa hat on after the high voice and absurdity.

Also, I love that they just show up in the two recentSouth Parkvideo games.

He was from the South Pole, he stole presents from children, and dressed in black and red.

The wild adventurer is a necessity inRudolph the Red-Nose Reindeerto offset how much of an insufferable dick Santa is.

The kind of bearded dude who will run directly into battle with an abominable snowman and win decisively.

I dont even care that Hermey removed its teeth beforehand.

Yeah, if anyone deserves more love this holiday season, its Cornelius.

What a lovable badass.
