Willie T. Stokes (Bad Santa)

Willie T. Stokes is like that one uncle who shows up at Christmas wearing a faded Santa suit and way too much cologne—hilariously crude but inescapably iconic. He’s not your wholesome, jolly Kris Kringle; he’s the guy who’s just as likely to steal your cookies as he is to steal your heart with his deadpan charm. You either love him or think he’s a total wreck, and let’s be honest, it's usually the former. He’s got the quirks of a snarky stand-up comic with the heart of a grifter, and in the battle for the Greatest Christmas Movie Characters of All Time, he’s like the dark horse that no one saw coming. Seriously, who else can rock a whiskey bottle in one hand and a sack of presents in the other? You’re either on the Willie train or you’re missing out on the best unsanitized Christmas cheer out there!
