George Bailey (It’s a Wonderful Life)

George Bailey is the ultimate underdog—this guy literally saves his town from financial ruin, only to get choked up over a bunch of Christmas tree lights. Imagine a character who’s both the world’s worst businessman and the best friend you could ever ask for. He spends his entire life making sacrifices, and let’s be real, he’s basically a walking Christmas card. Sure, he’s got a bit of a neurotic streak, but who doesn’t when they’re one financial setback away from a meltdown? George ain’t just a contender; he’s the heart and soul of Christmas movies, and if you don’t choose him, you’re missing out on the purest joy of the season. Seriously, who can’t relate to wanting to throw a rock at a bank window from time to time? #TeamGeorge forever, folks!
