There are many versions of Santa Claus in movies, and not all of them deserve the sleigh.
In this episode of Talk Talk Punch, we rank our top 10 movie Santas of all time. From classic jolly Santas to action-heavy, unhinged, and downright questionable versions, we debate which cinematic Santa truly understands the job. Each of us brings our own list, we score them Talk Talk Punch style, and we crown the official top three Santas ever.
This episode is packed with holiday debates, dad-movie energy, 80s and 90s nostalgia, and strong opinions about what makes a great Santa Claus. Some Santas bring joy. Some bring fists. And some should never be allowed near a mall again.
Let us know in the comments which Santa is your favorite and which one deserves coal.
