With only a week left until Christmas day (Monday, December 25th), you've got to be strategic to pack in as many holiday activities as possible. If you're looking for some holiday-themed films to make the most of these final days, you don't want to waste your time on a movie you'll hate. Luckily, Rotten Tomatoes has named the worst Christmas movies of all time so you can know which films to steer clear of— unless you're already a fan of some of the movies on this list. To each their own!
The list contains Christmas films that are "universally loathed" based on their less than 30% Tomatometers. Some films are obscure and therefore don't seem out of place on this list (1964's Santa Claus Conquers The Martians, for example), but there are quite of few star-studded films that you'll be shocked to find on this list. If you're looking for some universally loved Christmas films, check out The Best Christmas Movies Ever!
