There are many great Christmas movie characters. We see them every year on decorations, clothes, and on our screens. But they all can’t be #1.
Collider.com put together a ranking of the 20 Most Iconic Christmas Movie Characters.
Here they are:
1. The Grinch (Jim Carrey), “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (2000)
2. Ebenezer Scrooge, any adaptation of “A Christmas Carol”
3. Jack Skellington, “The Nightmare Before Christmas” (1993)
4. George Bailey (James Stewart), “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946)
5. Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), “Home Alone” (1990)
6. John McClane (Bruce Willis), “Die Hard” (1988)
7. Buddy the Elf (Will Ferrell), “Elf” (2003)
8. Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), “Home Alone” (1990)
9. Gizmo, “Gremlins” (1984)
10. Rudolph, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” (1964)
11. Klaus, “Klaus” (2019)
12. Frosty, “Frosty the Snowman” (1969)
13. Kris Kringle, “Miracle on 34th Street” (1947) (I’d argue that Richard Attenborough in the 1994 remake deserves to share this spot.)
14. Ralphie, “A Christmas Story” (1983)
15. Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” (1989)
16. Scott Calvin (Tim Allen), “The Santa Clause” (1994)
17. Willie T. Stokes (Billy Bob Thornton), “Bad Santa” (2003)
18. Arthur Claus, “Arthur Christmas” (2011)
