Mr. Hatton: [after catching Alan looking up UFO's on his work computer] Parker! What do aliens have to do with insurance claims, anyway?
Alan Parker: Uh... nothing, sir.
Mr. Hatton: That's RIGHT, you stupid son of a bitch! Get to work, or spend the new year on the unemployment line!
Alan Parker: Yes, Mr. Hatton. Merry Christmas.
Mr. Hatton: I HATE Christmas! And you're not leavin' early, either!
Alan Parker: No problem. I, uh, better get back to work.

Basically, a family is about to settle down for the night on Christmas Eve, when they are attacked by a bunch of small aliens who have an insatiable taste for blood.
After killing and consuming the neighbours, they start to hone in on the family, which is the family of one of the characters from the original film (or so I gather, at least).
All before they knock Santa out of the sky, as he was passing over their house.
Despite the behest of his family, the man risks his life to "save Santa".
Which is a little odd, as he is back in fighting shape as soon as he gets into the house.
Leave it to Santa to save the day...
Terrible acting aside (other than the kids, bless their souls), the aliens are hilariously bad puppets.
Actually, they are kind of cool when their limbs are being animated...but their faces are just so so bad.
If you can manage to ignore everything that sucks about this film (which is most of it, to be fair)...it does has a sort of charm to it.
Almost as if it was made by one family as a project over Christmas, or something.
I'm not goiong to lie...if you can sell yourself that lie, it's much more palatable than knowing people went through considerable effort to make this "vision" a reality.
You'd think they had no budget at all, if it weren't for the fact they are rocking some fledgling cgi graphics up in there with UFO.
All-in-all it's pretty much a bad film all-around.
But worth a watch if you are looking for some pure 90's straight-to-vhs Christmas horror cheese.
