Pair Christmas Movie Villains to Their Films

Not every Christmas movie is filled with sugarplum sweetness—some are driven by conflict, mischief, and the occasional festive fiend. From bumbling burglars to greedy tycoons and mythical mischief-makers, these villains gave our favorite holiday films their drama, laughs, and, in many cases, their heartwarming resolutions. But can you match each of these classic Christmas movie baddies to the film they came from?

   🎄 Match Popular Christmas Songs to Their Writers

Whether it’s the scheming Grinch with a heart two sizes too small, the slapstick antics of The Wet Bandits, or the icy rivalry of the Miser Brothers, these characters add spice to the seasonal cheer. While most eventually find redemption (we’re looking at you, Scrooge), others remain delightfully devious from start to finish.

Not Just Naughty—Iconic

Some villains are obvious—Krampus brings straight-up horror to the holidays. Others are more subtle, like Mr. Potter from It’s a Wonderful Life, whose cold-hearted capitalism stands in stark contrast to the film’s message of community and hope. And then there are those like Oogie Boogie, who throw musical menace into the mix.

   🎄 Match Christmas Movie Release Years to Their Titles

Matching each villain to their movie is not just a test of your holiday film trivia—it's a walk through the darker, funnier, and more surprising sides of the Christmas canon.
