This was a hard list to pull together despite the sheer volume of appallingly bad Christmas movies that are on the screens during this time of the year and so l reduced it down to 20 over 35 …. l find it interesting what some people dislike with regards Christmas film … l mean there are many reasons people do dislike them … what would your reason be?
l guess maybe, that people either don’t watch the television as they once did , or only watch repeats of the same films every year or maybe people don’t watch Christmas films anymore full stop, maybe it’s a tradition dying out with the arrival of Netflix and Amazon Prime and so on … or maybe people are too drunk to notice what is good or bad anymore … anyway enough of my banter, without further ado, here’s 20 of the worst in our readers eyes and mine too!

What I dislike about Christmas films is the same as what I dislike about any film: poor acting combined with lazy, cliched writing.
I tried to watch Have You Heard About the Morgans! yesterday and even Hugh Grant couldn’t save it 😞
Hahaha, l saw that films it was awful and … but it had some funny moments 🙂
I like the Penguins & Elf. I’m sorry too see them on the list. But I bet other people like the ones I added. We all have our reasons.😉
🌊🦄💫🧸💌
I know what you mean, although l detest Elf with a passion and l wasn’t the only one, l liked Penguins and l love Scrooged, you can never tell what turns people’s noses up. Although l agree with Paula, bad acting, bad lines and overall cringy’ness creeps me out and off 🙂
A fines evenings viewing right there….
Haha … now that’s funny 🙂
