Everyone has their favorite Christmas movie that they watch every year sometime in December. For example: A Christmas Story or It’s a Wonderful Life. My mom was always fond of the Henry Winkler movie, An American Christmas Carol.

I thought I would share my personal favorite with all of you. I used to dig out a VHS copy of this episode of MST3K every year until it degraded beyond watchable. These days, I’m able to dig up a torrent of it with no problem. This is actually a Mexican movie that is an annual classic in Mexico from what I’ve heard.

This isn’t the somewhat more well-known Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, which was featured on MST3K around 2 seasons before this one, and featured the song “Patrick Swayze Christmas”. This less popular “Mike episode” features the PC satire song, “Merry Christmas, if that’s okay”.

So, sit back with a cup of egg nog and enjoy this short clip featuring the battle between Santa Claus and his natural arch-nemesis, the devil:

What’s your favorite Christmas time movie?
