Christmas movies are known for heartwarming moments, but they're also marked by some mean-spirited bad guys who keep getting in the way.
Check out our gallery to see which Scrooges, Grinches, and other Christmas movie meanies topped our ranking of the most villainous holiday movie figures.
Can you guess who gets the No. 1 spot?!
He's pretty cranky, but he still humors Cindy Lou more than we'd expect. There's definitely hope for this Grinch.
He's a bad magician and a bad person, too. Even his pet rabbit (and Santa Claus) don't like him!
Those teeth! That roar! Before being tamed this is one scary Yeti... at least for younger viewers.
This is, by far, the most irritating depiction of Scrooge ever. If you like your Christmas villains as shrill divas, this is your movie.
For those that like their Scrooges more musical, watch Albert Finney sing very blunt, mean-spirited songs like "I Hate People." Tell us how you really feel, Scrooge.
Whenever he's mean to his little pup Max our hearts cannot emotionally handle it.
A boogeyman wrapped in a potato sack filled with bugs. This is the grossest of the holiday villains—and he's just so mean to Santa!
The mayor of Sombertown burns toys in front of children as they cry. Damn, that's harsh.
Nothing sticks with you like a traditional childhood bully. And Scut Farkus had yellow eyes... he had yellow eyes!
Not only did he break his former fiancée Daisy Duck's heart, he foreclosed on her honeymoon cottage. Ouch!
He has an immediate disliking for Kris Kringle while conducting a psychological evaluation on the Macy's Santa and later lies to have him institutionalized at Bellevue Hospital.
Considered one of the most legendary portrayals of Scrooge, Alastair Sim is the curmudgeonly old skinflint who dismisses the poor and scowls at caroling children, until he sees the error of his ways. A perfect old crank.
They target homes at Christmas to rob and plan to rip off a toy store that donates its sales to a children's hospital. Plus, you know, they try to attack a kid, so that's pretty messed up.
To look in Kermit the Frog's little Muppet eyes and still be a cold-hearted boss, that's one heck of a villain.
This late '80s cynical TV exec Scrooge is perhaps one of the sleaziest on-screen Scrooges. He's so mean-spirited, it's almost hard to believe he can turn it around in the end.
Potter isn't just one of the biggest Christmas movie villains ever, he's one of the meanest movie characters of all time. He tells Jimmy Stewart he's worth more dead than alive. That's just evil.
