Nostalgia Critic: CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Critic recalls his top 12 favorite Christmas movies and specials. Why top 12? Because it's Christmas.

The Critic's post-holiday depression hits its peak when he has to review "Jingle All The Way".

The Critic reviews the stupid Michael Keaton holiday family comedy Jack Frost, wishing instead that the movie was about a chained-up Superman wearing Batman's mask.

The Critic tries to refrain from gay jokes as he watches He-Man and She-Ra share a holiday.

After counting down his twelve favorite Christmas specials the year before, the Critic returns with the next eleven on his list.

The Critic reviews the worst holiday special of all time. The previously unreleased, cult fan-based Star Wars Holiday Special.

The Critic looks at another guilty pleasure of his, filled with stupid humor, obnoxious characters...and the best Santa Claus he's ever seen.

The Critic gets into the Christmas spirit by reviewing a semi-Christmas movie: that time Rodney Dangerfield was an animated dog. It's one-liners galore.

In this spoof of "It's a Wonderful Life," the Critic's guardian angel arrives on Earth to show him what life would be like if he was never born. And the Critic is shocked to learn that the lives of his fellow reviewers are actually better without him.

Keanu Reeves and Drew Barrymore? Yay. 1986? Nay.

The Critic reviews The Grinch in light of the holiday season, but it's a movie he despises for some reason. Flamboyant, loud, and made to annoy, yet how does it bring the people such joy? In a Seuss-style critique, the Critic prepares to tear into The Grinch, the movie of the week.

The Critic and Phelous team up to review an unlikely Christmas movie: The first Child's Play movie.

The Critic closes out a month of reviewing Christmas movies by reviewing the bizarre yet ever-growing holiday cult classic "Santa Claus: The Movie."

It's Christmas time again, and to kick off this holly jolly season, the Nostalgia Critic, an avid lover of Christmas, lists off his Top 12 best Santa Clauses from movies and TV specials. Why 12? Because it's Christmas.

How well does Adam Sandler hold up in animated form? Less bearable than in human form. The Nostalgia Critic reviews Sandler's 2002 foray into animation as the world's only well-known Hanukkah movie, which could possibly be the worst holiday special the Critic has ever seen...this year.

Is it really a good idea to lie to your kids about the existence of Santa Claus? This may sound like a damaging topic, but don't worry. The Nostalgia Critic finds out that if one generation realizes the truth about Santa, they can still keep the magic alive for the next generation, and that in this instance, under these circumstances, it's okay to lie.

The Nostalgia Critic reviews what he considers to be the WORST holiday special he's ever seen: from 1991, The Christmas Tree. How bad is it? Simply put, it makes The Star Wars Holiday Special look like It's a Wonderful Life.

Remember that bizarre animated British Christmas film from 2011 called Arthur Christmas? Few people do, which is a shame because, as the Nostalgia Critic finds out, that film is pretty much an underrated gem. But why? The Critic intends to find that out as well.

The Nostalgia Critic welcomes in the Christmas season in an uncharacteristically calm fashion, and reviews the animated adaptation of that classic Christmas song: Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. It follows the song to a tee as Grandma is kidnapped by Santa, who is then arrested for it and greedy Cousin Mel sets out to sell Grandma's multi-million dollar business. What were they smoking?

The Critic decides to give credit where it's due and look at some Christmas specials most people overlook, and tells us why it's a good idea to give them our attention this holiday season. From Bad Santa to Futurama to Pee-Wee's Christmas Special to Rifftrax, each one has something festive to offer in their own unique ways.

Being a fan of the original Christmas Story, though a bit put-off by its over-abundance of merchandising, the Nostalgia Critic takes a look at the unnecessary 2012 follow-up. It sucks donkey balls in every respect, from acting to writing to over-used narration to Ralphie's immature day dreams. It really puts the Critic's Christmas spirit to the ultimate test. Fortunately, Hyper Fangirl and her Assassin are here to try and restore his faith.

In light of the hap-hap-happiest season of the year, a giddy Nostalgia Critic looks at the hilarious 1989 Christmas classic: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. And when Santa squeezes his fat wide ass down that chimney tonight, he's going to find the jolliest 19 things about this movie that may have been overlooked.

To pull himself out of his post-Christmas funk, the Critic goes to a showing of The Care Bears Nutcracker Suite. It's your simple, basic Nutcracker re-telling with the Care Bears, but with annoying voice acting, poorly hidden plot twists and reused character designs.

The Nostalgia Critic loves Christmas and he loves the Ninja Turtles. So, putting both things together should be a match made in Heaven, no? Nope. The first lump of coal in the Critic's stocking is that horrendous Turtle Christmas musical from our childhoods, the memory of which we all managed to suppress...until now. No worries, the Nostalgia Critic will remember it so we don't have to.

Good grief, it would appear as the though the beloved Charlie Brown Christmas has become overrated. But is that a good thing or a bad thing? Well, seeing as how it's Christmastime, the Nostalgia Critic decides to analyze the very first (and arguably best) animated Peanuts special to determine its true meanings, its messages, and why it rings true for both kids and adults.
