6. ‘Fred Claus’
When St. Nick’s bitter older brother, Fred Claus (played by Vince Vaughn), shows up at the North Pole in need of some fast cash, family drama, snowball fights, and dancing elves set annual production plans off course. Santa Claus (played by Paul Giamatti) must also deal with the presence of a corporate entity (played by Kevin Spacey) who threatens to shut operations down at the North Pole and outsource them to the cheaper South Pole. The stressful situation is only exacerbated by the Claus mother, portrayed by Kathy Bates, who spares no expense at offering her critiques freely.
