    Played by Michelle Pfeiffer

    Tim Burton's second gothic take on the Caped Crusader set the story around Gotham's Christmas season, causing the movie to become an unexpected holiday favorite. While there is a thrill of seeing Michael Keaton back in the bat-suit and Danny DeVito is a lot of fun as the grotesque Penguin, Michelle Pfeiffer steals the show as Catwoman. With her own unique origin story, Selina Kyle goes from timid secretary to powerful cat burglar who is easy to cheer for despite being on the other side of the...

    Played by Jerry Nelson

    When it comes to versions of A Christmas Carol, the Muppet's take on the classic tale is a favorite of many. Michael Caine makes for a memorable Scrooge and it is fun seeing all the classic Muppets stepping into the story, but a new Jim Henson creation becomes the movie's scene-stealer. The Ghost of Christmas Present is the second spirit to visit Scrooge and by far the friendliest. The forgetful giant introduces himself with boisterous energy and kindness that cracks even Scrooge's hard exter...

    Played by David Harbour

    While there have been some surprisingly deadly depictions of Santa as a Chrismas character, none have been as likable as Violent Night's Santa. David Harbour stars in the holiday action-comedy as the world-weary Santa who has lost his faith in the world only to find himself the only hope to save a family being held hostage by a team of deadly mercenaries. The backstory of Santa as a Viking warrior is great outrageous fun, while Harbour wisely doesn't take the movie too seriously yet still bec...

    Played by Will Ferrell

    Will Ferrell has a more iconic Christmas character in his career, but his role as Present (aka The Ghost of Christmas Present), is the highlight of Spirited. The musical holiday movie takes a look inside the world of those spirits who help selfish people find their way on Christmas each year. Present is a successful operator in the job, but he meets his challenge when he comes up against the seemingly irredeemable Clint Briggs (Ryan Reynolds). Watching Presents's desperate attempts to get thr...

    Played by David Johansen

    Another unorthodox take on A Christmas Carol is Richard Donner's Scroogedwhich takes a modern approach to the story, starring Bill Murray as a cynical television executive who is in need of a Christmas haunting. However, it is another instance of the ghosts stealing the show with the madcap take on The Ghost of Christmas Past being the most memorable. Depicted as a cigar-smoking cabbie, the ghost is a loud and obnoxious spirit who seems to really enjoy his job. The scene of the ghost taking M...

    Played by Darren McGavin

    A Christmas Storyis one of the most iconic holiday movies ever made. While the film is a nostalgic look at a young boy's hopes of getting his coveted Christmas present, his father, known as, The Old Man, provides many of the best moments. Constantly tinkering with the broken furnace and swearing all the time, he is caring but also stern, and overall a really lovable character. The pride he has with his iconic leg lamp prize is mixed with moments of hilarious anger as when the neighbor's dogs...

    Played by Seth Rogen

    The Night Beforeis a rare R-rated Christmas movie about three childhood friends who reunite for their annual night of holiday shenanigans while also facing many changes in their lives. But the most hilarious of the trio is Isaac, a soon-to-be father. While Isaac seems to be dealing with his upcoming child quite well, his drug-fueled night out with friends brings out his biggest fears. Seeing him constantly freak out about this life-changing event makes for the funniest moments in the movie, e...
