But sometimes you’re in the mood for Christmas movies with scripts and/or acting so bad they make you laugh, like these treasures: Even when you stream bad movies, you still need great internet. Visit griswoldcommunications.com if it’s time to get a speed upgrade. Christmas Movies So Bad, They’re Good A Christmas Prince (2017) Like any trainwreck, it’s hard to look away from this holiday romance. Many of the plotlines are stolen from other movies, and yet it all comes together with holiday magic. A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding (2018) This sequel takes the bad factor up another level. The main character uses a bow and arrow to threaten someone who is imprisoned in the palace dungeons, and it's treated like just a regular day. A Very Brady Christmas (1988) Not surprisingly, this is a very corny Christmas movie with a very corny plot, which makes it very fun to watch. Christmas with the Kranks (2004) Known for being one of the dumbest Christmas movies ever, this is also terribly funny! It stars Tim Allen, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Dan Aykroyd. Holiday in Handcuffs (2007) A struggling artist working as a waitress kidnaps one of her customers to take home to meet her parents at Christmas. Santa Girl (2019) Santa's daughter is forced into an arranged marriage with Jack Frost's son to keep the Christmas business alive, but first she wants to go to college. 778-2595 Snow (2004) When one of Santa's reindeer is kidnapped by a big game hunter, a nerdy youngman travels to California to recover it, where he meets a beautiful zoologist. The Snow forecast is for campy acting and mindless fun. Snowglobe (2007) A woman who longs to have a perfect Christmas is given a magical snow globe that transports her to a land where every day is Christmas. It’s really bad, but really entertaining. The Knight Before Christmas (2019) A clumsy knight from the 1300s enters the modern world but mysteriously figures out our technology. He does ask for information from Lady Siri, however. Unaccompanied Minors (2006) This super cheesy movie is about kids who get stuck at the airport when a Christmas Eve blizzard shuts it down.
