Well, the annual demonstration of stupid movies is well underway. Which is the worst of all of them? There are simply too many to create a poll, so let's do this as a narrative.
I put "Polar Express" at the top of the list. Which one is yours?

Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine welcoming us into the holiday season.
Taste in movies, just like music and many other things is very subjective. Watch what you like, don't watch what you don't. There's like 7000 channels, change it up or better yet, turn the damn thing off.

"Jingle All-the Way" with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad is the first bad Christmas movie that comes to my mind.

I've never understood what is so funny about Elf. Unless you like Will Ferrell .

You watch the Hallmark Channel, don't you? 😆 Does every Hallmark Channel Christmas in July movie count for this thread? The problem with Hallmark Channel Christmas movies is they are all based on the same formula over and over again with little variation. Sorry this will be a ramble run-on. -Women/man (W/M) watches family business failing and takes over for parents or they had passed and inherits same. Equally the hero/rescuer. -W/M opposite sex appears out of nowhere.He/she either breaks-down, airport gets snowed in, is just passing through, or is there to buy said business and change it entirely for some faceless Corportation. -W/M business owner, likely is a single parent and lost their spouse. Or visitor is. -W/M owner hates W/M initially, or rates them as a loser of no value. -W/M visitor becomes enamored with the family business owner and his/her child and proves their worth with incredible effort and saves the business and somehow elevates the surrounding town along with it. -The visitor is also an incredibly gifted contractor/DIYer, has money themselves but shuns wealth, and/or has influential ties that and politician would be jealous of. Snow inevitably starts falling on Christmas eve as the new couple purchase the last charlie brown Xmas tree on the lot. Over and over and over and over again. Plot varies slightly, but after a refresher of watching it them a week. We start playing Hallmark Christmas Bingo. You predict what will happen from the above list, before it does and you win after getting 5 correct during the course of the movie. Does anyone concure?

Its kind of like October when they show all the horror movies, but a few days after the end of the month they are still showing them.

I mean your summary is sort of the CliffsNotes version of what I stated. But you got the basics. ! 😉😊😄✌

Then you get a few months off and we have Xmas Specials in June or July. 😄
