For a second there i thought that was Translucent, but I couldn't see through his acting performance... 😳

[@brianmcclain7861]

love u guys reactions u liked this then u should check out 2020 fatman

[@c4l977]

Have you all watched Fatman? If you liked this Santa, you might like Fatman's depiction of Santa as well.

[@loganshaw4527]

Meanwhile my family never took down the decorations. It was still up the. Next October.

[@loganshaw4527]

But if I could have snow most of the year some in spring and some in fall not that bad.

[@jacobburns115]

So interesting fact. A lot of Santa’s lore comes from Norse mythology and Clause de cinders or Cinder Clause. It was actually Thor and he would come on his birthday(the winter solstice) and enter through chimneys and leave gifts for children. So this movie dives into real Santa lore.

[@Mek_Alenes]

This is interesting. I thought many of the lore comes from Odin's role as Jólfaðr or Jólnir.

[@jacobburns115]

@@Mek_Alenes I mean it does. What I said is the most basic statement. There’s a lot more from Norse mythology and also Celtic mythology that is mixed in too

[@KaySan666]

Is this somewhere we can read up on? because i thought Santa Claus is based on the germanic/german tradition of Saint Nikolaus, who is based on the turkish bishop who brought gifts to children. I could imagine tho, that the russian Father Frost is based on nordic myths because the Rus were vikings that settled down in the western russian area (as far as i remember).

[@jacobburns115]

@@KaySan666 so like I said in response to another comment what you are saying is also true. The lore of Christmas(the actual Catholic Christ-mass) comes from many sources both pagan and Christian like everything in Catholicism. They took the stories of Cinder Klus and the stories of St Nikolas and combined them to attract pagans to their faith.

[@jacobburns115]

@@KaySan666 also it’s pretty easy information to find if you just research Santa Claus and Norse mythology. There’s a lot of interesting history.

[@Rmlohner]

The director has confirmed a sequel is coming, in which he hopes to get Charlize Theron as Mrs. Claus.

[@HEAVYMETALmovie1981]

*That's WONDERFUL!* 🎄

[@eduardocruz4341]

Yeah, I want a badass hot Ms. Claus...lol

[@kevenpinder7025]

Kathy Bates as Mrs Klaus.

[@all-s0rts]

Fitting choice especially if you have seen Atomic Blonde.

[@kaylakurosaki4873]

Her and Noomi Rapace are my top female crush 😍

[@thejmeister]

The scene where they have Santa tied to the chair and are rifling through his magic bag is my favourite. It's so good, and the writing and performances are incredible. "You made your brother eat worms! THAT'S NAUGHTY!" Love it!

[@bidwell13]

This is such a great christmas movie. I love how the wedding ring rolled right to the sledgehammer. Like Mrs Claus was helping him. One thing I was thinking after seeing this a couple times is what the next day was like. Getting rid of the bodies and cleaning up the house. They’re rich so they could probably do all that without the cops but if they had the cops come it would be fun listening to their stories about what happened and the look on the cops faces when they mention Santa taking the bad guys out.

[@davidhasselblad2898]

I have a theory that Mrs Claus is a witch who fell in love with nicomund the red.

[@bidwell13]

@@davidhasselblad2898 I like that theory.

[@kokocostanza2036]

Not only is he essentially playing Jim Hopper in a red suit, but I'm now convinced that in all of his roles, David is pretty much playing himself.

He is kind of a b*tch in The Equalizer.

He didn't play himself in The Newsroom.

I like how Santa's list said Trudy "invited weird kid to party" 🤣🤣🤣

[@erosheartache2398]

i love this movie so much. My favorite thing about the press tour was David Harbour proposing a Violent Night Cinematic Universe with Oscar Isaac as the Easter Bunny and Pedro Pascal as the Tooth Fairy.

[@cfinley81]

Hollywood, MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!

[@jacquelinecallejas1390]

And we would turn up for it.

[@osmanyousif7849]

Titan: And who’s the Queen of England?

[@kurtsmith9564]

The one thing about this movie is how it uses the trope from home alone, die hard 2, a little bit of Christmas vacation. And it shows what actually would happen when those booby traps work from home alone

[@tekcomputers]

It's basically if Bad Santa, The Santa Clause, Die Hard 2, Home Alone and Christmas Vacation were all the same movie.

[@thedarkknight2221]

My favorite Christmas movie since Elf! Also *Fun History Lesson*, this Santa’s Viking backstory is ACTUALLY tied to the real origins of Christmas. Long before Christianity or Catholicism came into existence there was the pagan holiday of Yule (yes as in whenever you have heard of Yuletide) and when Christianity was starting to spread throughout Scandinavia they actually stole some of their rituals and holidays and made it their own. So Santa being a Viking actually makes perfect sense.🤣🤣🤣

[@joeldean2706]

Yea I remember learning this at school and yeah the viking backstory as fun as it is makes sense its great. Plus Santa's clothes back then were green not red !

[@ctcentralinfo]

Santa Claus has NOTHING to do with Christianity, never has .

[@p-forest]

@@ctcentralinfo Which makes it even more strange Christians have appropriated it, and seem to get so offended if anyone questions it.

[@yblackie]

​@@p-forest it's less, appropriation and more cultural synthesis

[@RomeroWilliam]

Technically All-Father Odin was the first "Santa Claus" but yes, Christmas was Yuletide before Christianity adapted it to convert the "Northmen" to Christianity.

[@SaiyanHeretic]

Instant classic, I'm adding this to the Christmas movie marathon with Die Hard, A Christmas Story, and Home Alone.

[@lkf8799]

Elf?

[@DonWinslow-cn7zx]

I couldn't agree more. I laughed so hard during this movie. It will be cool to see the backstory for all of Santa's tattoos. I like watching Christmas Vacation is ony list, along with the ones in your list.

[@p-forest]

This could be a series, where every Christmas Santa runs into some situation he needs to help some people out and break out his old viking skills.

[@nunyanunya4964]

My 74-year-old mother and I watched this last Christmas and even she loved it (and she lives in church). Awesome movie that I’m so glad I bought as soon as it was available.

[@kennyshoulders1284]

As soon as me and my dad saw this movie. We both said this movie definitely has to go into the Christmas movie rotation every year.

[@DanJohansen]

Just loved Nikkis "Santa is a viking!" yell. 😆

[@joeldean2706]

Definitely the most badass Santa so far. Plus David Harbour is always great and just great casting. Sequel is on the way and I'm excited to see more.

[@bigduke8605]

The “You don’t shoot a guy in the dick” reference from South Park was perfectly timed

[@roryqpotter8242]

Santa as we know him today was actually Odin riding in the Wild Hunt. So Santa being a Viking makes sense.

[@tomcody2203]

Great reaction to a new christmas movie classic. Btw, "Violent Night" was produced by DAVID LEITCH, who also produced "NOBODY", co-directed "JOHN WICK" and also made "ATOMIC BLONDE", "DEADPOOL 2" and "BULLETT TRAIN". A sequel has aiready been confirmed, including elves and Mrs. Claus. That part may be played by Noomi Rapace or Charlize Theron.

[@Ladmia]

37:30 this is the start of the sequence that sent our entire theater into a laughing frenzy. We were already having a good time, BUT OMG seeing those booby traps coming didn’t stop people from coming out of their chairs. I think I laughed just as hard watching you guys watch that whole sequence. What a great movie.

[@jasonsolway1719]

The only thing they missed was the reindeer bringing back Elf Team Six. 😂

[@jamesschmidt6993]

The machine that the rope got thrown into where the bad guys get pulled in is called a snowblower. In areas where it snows 4-5 months out of the year, they're fairly common. This is my favorite Christmas movie of all time

[@QueenoftheBlackCoast]

This is my new favorite Christmas movie. Love that they made Santa a Viking.

[@annejakobson6468]

Steve’s facial expressions are everything 😂

[@SanctumGamingNetwork]

This is such a fun ride, saw it in theaters and the whole theater was cheering during the whole thing, one of the best Christmas movies!

[@CHRISTALGIA]

Really enjoyed this movie in theaters! Never knew who David Harbour was until his role in stranger things and then being in the black widow movie! He’s an amazing actor and seems like such a good dude in real life.

[@JnEricsonx]

Happily met him and Millie Bobbie Brown at NYCC back in 2016. Kinda odd standing there getting a photo, being in awe of a 12 year old.

[@DJKuroh]

I never thought Santa rattling off his AKAs would be so badass.

[@cesarvidelac]

This is like a mash of John Wick, Die Hard and Rambo all inside Santa. You may add Judge Dredd too! I was looking for a tactical Santa movie, it was time! Great video guys! 😎

[@tokesalot42069]

Santa is actually originally based on Odin being the gift bringer to children while riding Sleipnir google it, so based on lore yes he has Germanic and Celtic backgrounds through stories as well, but was originally based on Norse mythology hence why he has Norse tattoos. Also it would explain why he has been alive for 1100 years which matches up with when the Vikings were active.

[@kenndywade3129]

I loved this movie so much because it included some of the Home Alone traps but in a violence way

[@dubirdrs]

Such a great movie! A hard-core, violent action movie wrapped inside a surprisingly heart-warming Christmas story. XD

[@DERicHawk-qu4oh]

That was the most hardcore villain ending I've ever seen.

[@fettel1988]

"This is like if Santa was the Grinch" In a lot of the older lore, Santa was literally simultaneously Krampus.

[@CathleenMJennings80]

I literally cheered when I saw this in theaters. ♪ Something About Christmas Time ♪ I haven't had that much fun watching a movie in forever.

[@johnnyramos3601]

Hi Nikki the reason why a lot of people leave the Christmas tree on to after the January 6th is because in the Spanish community we celebrate the three king that came to see God was on January 6th and each gave him one gift. That is w hy we celebrate the three king on January 6th. PS. Love you guys reaction thanks so much.

[@stubbornscorpio7]

“Why does it look like a Viking pirate ship” …good catch. Foreshadow

[@ponczi]

I saw this movie in IMAX and it was a real Christmas experience - Home Alone, Die Hard and the spirit of Christmas rolled together. 100% fun :D

[@Lopez03Eduardo.]

There's a deleted scene taking place after the ending where Santa goes back to visit the drunk dad with the baby threatening him to be the good dad the baby needs if not he'll get skull crusher

[@bklynkat23]

This movie for sure is gonna be on my annual Christmas movie watch list. So so good

[@kennethbryant5819]

I never caught on to the sleigh resembling a viking ship. Great catch, Nikki. Probably reminds him of home.

[@jarredwilkinson4666]

Epic fun tale! Santa is a Viking! Love it! Would love to see an origin film. Good news it sounds like a sequel is coming. Can’t wait to see a Viking Ms Claus!!! Laughed at the theater seeing this and laughed harder listening to you both provide comments as the mayhem unfolds. Thanks for brightening up my day with this video.

Just a small point of interest...In the ancient lore, Odin was the original incarnation of Santa. The red suit with white trim was the bloody pelts of reindeer...

That was not a woodchipper. That was a snow blower. They are usually less dangerous looking, the blades are usually covered in thick leather sheathing, but they used to be cold unforgiving steel.

Saw this movie with my best friend in the theater and I thought it was going to be a 1 dimensional gore fest which I don't care for too much but I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it had more layers to it. So it was definitely way better than I expected and I always enjoy watching David Harbor and John Leguizamo. This movie to me is if Die Hard and Home Alone (two Christmas movies) had a baby.

You should watch the deleted scenes and alternate ending, especially when he comes back to visit that drunken father with the baby girl and threatens him if he doesn't be a good father to her
