No.9: Hans Gruber (Die Hard)

Hans Gruber is not only a Christmas movie villain, he's one of the best action movie villains ever to hit the big screen, taking everyone hostage during the holidays all for his evil plan to get his hands on a major company's money. Good thing there's a secret New York cop in the building.

No.8: Marv and Harry (Home Alone)

Most Christmas movies are about not being alone, but Home Alone is all about the holiday hijinx you can have in your own, especially with these two hapless burglars trying to get you.

No.7: Bumble (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)

Bumble might be just a little too adorable to be truly menacing, but he's the villain in one of the most classic Christmas movies around.

Bumble makes Rudolph's job a little harder

No.6: The Angry Elf (Elf)

Who can forget The Angry Elf in Elf? He may be little, but he still packs a punch and makes things difficult for the guy we're rooting for.

No.4: Old Man Potter (It's a Wonderful Life)

Old Man Potter, the grouchiest and most hard-hearted man in Bedford makes George Bailey's life hell...right up until he realizes how wonderful it is!

Old Man Potter is as heartless as they come

No.3: Mr. Oogie Boogie (The Nightmare Before Christmas)

There's no shortage of freaks and ghouls in Halloweentown, but Mr. Oogie Boogie scares even them with his cruel and unusual tendencies and things get even hairier when he captures Sally.

No.2: Ebenezer Scrooge (A Christmas Carol)

Bah Humbug! The most classic of all the Christmas villains, Ebenezer Scrooge has no time for holiday cheer, family or other people's problems - until he's visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future that is.

Bah Humbug! Ebenezer Scrooge doesn't believe in Christmas!

No.1: The Grinch (How the Grinch Stole Christmas)

Calling someone a Grinch is the same as saying they have no heart (but not that they have no hope!) The sly Grinch thinks that if sneaks away presents and decorations he can ruin the holidays in Whoville, but he has a change of heart when he sees what happens.
