16. Jim Carrey as The Grinch in the 2000 film Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas
He's pretty cranky, but he still humors Cindy Lou more than we'd expect. There's definitely hope for this Grinch.

15. Professor Hinkle from Frosty the Snowman (1969)
He's a bad magician and a bad person, too. Even his pet rabbit (and Santa Claus) don't like him!

14. Bumble, the Abominable Snow Monster in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
Those teeth! That roar! Before being tamed this is one scary Yeti... at least for younger viewers.

13. Vanessa Williams as Ebony Scrooge in A Diva's Christmas Carol (2000)
This is, by far, the most irritating depiction of Scrooge ever. If you like your Christmas villains as shrill divas, this is your movie.

12. Albert Finney as Ebenezer Scrooge in Scrooge (1970)
For those that like their Scrooges more musical, watch Albert Finney sing very blunt, mean-spirited songs like "I Hate People." Tell us how you really feel, Scrooge.
11. The animated Grinch in the 1966 TV special Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Whenever he's mean to his little pup Max our hearts cannot emotionally handle it.

10. Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
A boogeyman wrapped in a potato sack filled with bugs. This is the grossest of the holiday villains—and he's just so mean to Santa!

9. Burgermeister Meisterburger from Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (1970)
The mayor of Sombertown burns toys in front of children as they cry. Damn, that's harsh.

8. Scut Farkus from A Christmas Story (1983)
Nothing sticks with you like a traditional childhood bully. And Scut Farkus had yellow eyes... he had yellow eyes!

7. Scrooge McDuck in Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983)
Not only did he break his former fiancée Daisy Duck's heart, he foreclosed on her honeymoon cottage. Ouch!

6. Granville Sawyer from Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
He has an immediate disliking for Kris Kringle while conducting a psychological evaluation on the Macy's Santa and later lies to have him institutionalized at Bellevue Hospital.

5. Alastair Sim as Ebenezer Scrooge in Scrooge (1951)
Considered one of the most legendary portrayals of Scrooge, Alastair Sim is the curmudgeonly old skinflint who dismisses the poor and scowls at caroling children, until he sees the error of his ways. A perfect old crank.
%20and%20Home%20Alone%202%20(1992)%20from%20Ranking%20Meanest%20Christmas%20Movie%20Scrooges%20%26%20Grinches%20on%20E!%20Online)
4. Harry and Marv from Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2 (1992)
They target homes at Christmas to rob and plan to rip off a toy store that donates its sales to a children's hospital. Plus, you know, they try to attack a kid, so that's pretty messed up.

3. Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge in The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
To look in Kermit the Frog's little Muppet eyes and still be a cold-hearted boss, that's one heck of a villain.

2. Bill Murray as Frank Cross in Scrooged (1988)
This late '80s cynical TV exec Scrooge is perhaps one of the sleaziest on-screen Scrooges. He's so mean-spirited, it's almost hard to believe he can turn it around in the end.

1. Mr. Henry F. Potter in It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
Potter isn't just one of the biggest Christmas movie villains ever, he's one of the meanest movie characters of all time. He tells Jimmy Stewart he's worth more dead than alive. That's just evil.
