I have some Christmas movie recs for you!

Rare Exports is a bonkers 2010 Finnish horror movie in which Santa is an ancient monster. If you like black comedy/horror comedy, you might get a kick out of it; it is VERY WEIRD. I'm not convinced it quite sticks the landing, but it is a wild ride.

The Hogfather miniseries you have probably heard of, as it an adaptation of one of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, but in case you haven't seen it, I can just say it's delightful. The Hogfather (Discworld's Santa Claus analog) is missing, Death steps in temporarily, Death's granddaughter Susan (pictured in icon) goes to find the missing Hogfather, and a huge ensemble of other colorful characters lend a hand. It stands alone perfectly well, even if you're not familiar with Discworld in general, and it's the one thing I make sure to watch every Christmas.
