By Rotten Tomatoes’ December 2025 ranking, Christmas With the Kranks is the lowest-rated film in this top ten, with a 5% Tomatometer score. The list below follows the publication’s first ten places in its 31-film guide; “worst” means lowest critic-score placement within that guide, not a definitive verdict on what every viewer will enjoy.
How this ranking works
Rotten Tomatoes editor Alex Vo’s “The 31 Worst Christmas Movies Ever”, published December 9, 2025, sets the ranking. The guide says its eligible films have Tomatometer scores below 40% and at least 20 reviews. The figures here are the guide’s film-level critic scores, not audience ratings; individual review counts for these ten are not stated in the retrieved guide text.
This is a cutoff, not an exhaustive inventory of disliked holiday movies: the source contains 31 entries and says Saving Christmas and Nativity 3: Dude, Where’s My Donkey?! did not meet its inclusion threshold. Rotten Tomatoes also notes that its latest update includes Red One, Bad Santa 2, and Jack Frost. Scores and order can change as the review base and guide change.
The ten lowest-ranked entries in the guide
-
Christmas With the Kranks (2004) — 5%
The lowest-ranked entry in this guide is a family comedy about a couple who plan to skip Christmas festivities while their daughter is away. Rotten Tomatoes’ Critics Consensus calls it “a mirthless movie as fresh as last year’s fruit cake” and criticizes its coarse, garish comedy and promotion of conformity. The placement reflects this guide’s critic-score ranking, not a universal audience verdict.

What the scores do—and do not—say
The Tomatometer is a measure of critic-review reception as presented by Rotten Tomatoes. A low percentage can help identify films critics rated poorly, but it does not measure how much a particular audience will enjoy a movie, nor does it make “worst” an objective or permanent classification. The guide’s ranking is most useful as a defined snapshot: these are its first ten entries under its stated eligibility rules.
