Without conflict there is no drama and without Christmas villains there wouldn't be dozens of holiday themed television specials and motion pictures.
Christmas villains come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Most of them start out as not get the meaning of it all, but through a set of circumstances they repent and end up wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.
Then there are those villains who show up at Christmas with no intention of changing. So let's raise a glass of eggnog to the Top Five Christmas Villains. If not for them, we wouldn't have any Christmas stories to tell.
1. Scrooge
Most Heinous Villainy: Wishing there were more poor houses and orphanages.
If there was to be a number one Christmas villain it has to be Ebenezer Scrooge. The Scrooge archetype is essentially what every other Christmas villain strives to become.
Charles Dickens creation was first published in 1843. Since that publication the story has never been out of print and has spawned at least 22 official stage variations, 2 operas, 4 recordings, 10 radio broadcasts, 49 television show adaptations and 20 film versions.
Among the notable actors who have taken on the mantle of playing Scrooge have been Kesley Grammer and Albert Finney in musical versions.
In classic versions Scrooge has been played by George C Scott, Patrick Stewart, Reginald Owen and everybody's favorite Alastair Sim. And let's not forget Mr. Magoo, Jim Carrey and Bill Murray in "Scrooged." "Bah, humbug!"
