QUIZ: Which Christmas movie villain is your holiday alter ego?

’Tis the season of joy, cheer, and if you feel like coughing out an evil laugh, unadulterated villainy. Christmas films taught us that not all are the holly, jolly folks that main characters show themselves off to be during the holidays. So, the next best thing for us to relate to? Villains, of course.

Whether it’s a childhood classic or the big bad of new Christmas tales, there’s a villain fit for any holiday persona. Find out yours below.

At an IRL Christmas party, where would you usually be?

Subtly looking for the nearest exit where no one would see me.

Strutting my stuff. Look, I may hate Christmas, but I bought an outfit for this.

Not-so-patiently waiting for the gift exchange part so I can get it over with.

Uh, I wouldn’t be there in the first place.

At the open bar.

All good mustache-twirling villains have a motive guiding their evil ways. What’s yours?

Deep down in my (black) heart, I just want to be loved.

Trauma from my dark, dark past.

In an ideal world, I’m a mega-rich billionaire who’s just really bored.

It all boils down to—spoiler alert—money.

REVENGE! *evil laughter here*

Wait, who (or what) exactly is your archenemy?

My dark, dark past. Get the memo already.

People trying to outdo me.

Society.

Annoying people.

Rejection.

Pick an infamous Disney villain line that reflects your soul.

“Don’t underestimate the importance of body language.” — Ursula, “The Little Mermaid”

“I killed Mufasa.” — Scar, “The Lion King”

“If only there was someone out there who loved you.” — Hans, “Frozen”

“Besides, you and I both know the real power in this world ain't magic. It’s money! Buckets of it.” — Dr. Facilier, “The Princess and The Frog”

“The world is dark, and selfish, and cruel. If it finds even the slightest ray of sunshine, it destroys it.” — Mother Gothel, “Tangled”

It’s time for your climactic tell-all to the “protagonist.” How do you plan to stop Christmas?

With a convoluted plot that I’ve devised for years. It’s fool-proof!

By letting my minions do the legwork.

I’ll let it die a slow, bitter death.

By pretending that I like Christmas, but in a grand plot twist later on, I reveal that I actually don’t.

I get to the root of it by infiltrating Santa’s operation.

QUIZ: Which Christmas movie villain is your holiday alter ego?

Ebenezer Scrooge

QUIZ Which Christmas movie villain is your holiday alter ego? 2

You, dear person, are a classic. You gravitate towards Mr. Scrooge quicker than you can caption a photo of him with “mood.” Christmas isn’t always your thing, as you’d rather wallow in the quieter moments of life when your dark, dark past doesn’t haunt you.

The Wet Bandits from “Home Alone”

For you, gifts are the shining beacon in the otherwise boring holidays. As a villain, you have only one goal in mind. And you’d probably get away with it, too, if only meddling people stop foiling your plans.

Hans Gruber from “Die Hard”

We gotta bow down to you. When folks think of “villains,” your name echoes in the room as they quake in fear. You’ve aced Criminal Mastermind 101 to a T, and you likely have a grand plot to stop Christmas—alongside a side plan to convince people your movie belongs in the holidays, too.

“Love, Actually”

Congrats, you’re the movie “Love, Actually”! Contrary to popular belief, you kinda like Christmas. Why are you here, you ask? Your subtle ways make for evil potential. (That, and the film has its share of questionable characters that are pretty villainous, IMO.)

Lady Fiona Pembroke from “The Princess Switch” cinematic universe

You live by the words “gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss” like a mantra you say at five in the morning, before a routine that would make even influencers cry. You get things done with no remorse (but a redemption arc wouldn’t hurt, too).
