15 Christmas Movie Sequels That Shouldn’t Exist
Manage episode 522430632 series 3648172
Not all Christmas movies spread cheer. Some return like ghosts of bad ideas—clumsy, joyless, and wrapped in nostalgia they didn’t earn.
In this episode, we’re counting down the 15 worst Christmas sequels of all time—lazy cash-ins that forgot what made the originals magical. From Home Alone 4’s soulless reboot to Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2’s recycled footage nightmare, these aren’t just bad movies. They’re cinematic Christmas crimes.
You’ll hear how Santa Clause 3 lost the magic, why Bad Santa 2 missed the joke, and how A Christmas Story 2 tried—and failed—to grow up. We’ll also dig into the tropes: copy-paste plots, holiday branding over storytelling, and sequels that swapped feeling for formula.
Whether you're a holiday movie addict or just here for the takedown, this list will make you think twice before clicking "Play" on that familiar Christmas title.
