Okay but like WHY is no one talking about the villains in holiday movies? I’ve been home for the holidays for like a week, and my mom and I have basically become human Christmas movie critics while she cooks and I scroll through dating apps. We’ve watched Love Actually, three Hallmark films about busy bunned executives moving to small towns, and honestly, the only thing that’s not fun about this is the protagonists. These perfect, pretty, checked-off-boxes characters? Boring. The real MVPs are the villains—messy, toxic, and so relatable. Let’s talk about the ones who make us side-eye our own holiday plans.
First up: Mark from Love Actually. The cucked bro who’s super mean to Keira Knightley while secretly crushing on her? So cringe. He’s the reason we all hate that scene where he stages a fake emotional card presentation on Christmas Eve. Like, what even is that? And don’t get me started on Meredith from The Holiday. Sarah Jessica Parker’s character is so boring and weird, but once she gets drunk and high, she’s like, yes, this is the real Carol—the one who drops strata and starts screaming about her ex. Why are your only topics Hong Kong work trips and homophobia, queen?
Then there’s Jasper from Love Actually, the ex who still thinks he’s entitled to Kate Winslet’s emotional support. No thanks, you weirdly-permed nightmare. And let’s not forget Harge Aird from Carol—the ex-husband who uses a PI to try to take custody of their daughter because Carol’s “lez out” all over the country. Pathetic. And Harper from Carol? The closeted daughter who tricks her girlfriend into coming home and then gaslights her until the last second. Nope.
KEY POINTS: – Villains in holiday movies are the real MVPs—they’re messy, toxic, and so relatable. – Toxic exes, cucked bros, and boring weirdos steal the show. – Flawed characters make the holiday magic actually interesting.
💫 Or should we just all be friends and skip the holidays.
