Christmas seems to be a gold mine for bad movies. For every good Christmas movie, there are like 20 bad ones. Which ones do you think are the worst?

Some bad ones I've seen (or at least seen clips of):
- The Nutcracker in 3D (hands-down the worst adaptation of the ballet, it features Nazi rats, Albert Einstein as the protagonist's uncle, and a clown that looks like John Wayne Gacy)
- The Rapsittie Kids Believe in Santa
- The Christmas Tree
- Elf Bowling (features Tom Kenny as the villain and a host of ethnic stereotypes)

Last Christmas (2019)

Kate, a shop assistant working as a Christmas elf in a Christmas shop in London, meets a guy called Tom. A recluse with no phone, no social media, not a trace of him.

Can I spoil the film? Because I'd like to talk about the plot twist at end. It ruined the film for me. Well, you've been warned.

Show Spoiler
So, Tom is dead. Yup. Turns out he's been dead this whole time! He was a ghost! The film took the line 'Last Christmas I gave you my heart' and made it literal. He was Kate's heart donor last Christmas. For elf's sake. Really? I mean, come on, really?

I've never liked Holiday Inn, but it's still a Classic and it's very well made.

Idk why, but I've never been able to make it through the movie "polar express" with Tom hanks.

I can describe the movie as a movie about nothing.

Granted, it's a kids movie, but it still did bore me as a kid.

I admit, I did find The Polar Express a bit boring, but then again, the book it's based on doesn't have much of a plot, and the movie itself is fairly well-liked.
