Bad Santa
Every Christmas Willie and his partner get together to pull a holiday con, posing as a mall Santa and elf to rip off shopping outlets on Christmas Eve.

When a young boy befriends him and brings out his kinder side, Willie begins to wonder if there really is something to this whole “Christmas” thing.

Four Christmases
Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) have big plans to spend the holiday season on a tropical vacation, but when their flight gets cancelled unexpectedly, they must make the journey to a jumble of Christmas gatherings at each of their family’s homes. While Brad is counting down the minutes until the season ends, Kate begins to understand her crazy family just a little bit better.

Arthur Christmas
It’s no secret that Santa delivers toys to every single boy and girl on Christmas Eve, but not everyone knows he pulls the feat off with the help of an elaborate high-tech operation beneath the North Pole.

Soon, the Kranks find themselves complete outcasts because of their lack of Christmas spirit – and little do they know, they’re about to need the support of their neighbours more than ever.
