There’s also a history of “Bad Santas” in animated cartoons. Bluto masquerades as Santa in the Popeye cartoon “Mister and Mistletoe.” Bugs Bunny combats the Tasmanian Devil, dressed as Santa, in Friz Freleng’s “The Fright Before Christmas.” The Big Bad Wolf impersonates Santa in Tex Avery’s “One Ham’s Family.” And though he’s not a villain, Woody Woodpecker impersonates Santa to steal food from Wally Walrus in Shamus Culhane’s “Ski for Two.”
